error on startup

[irony]

I just heard about ufoai today and I was very excited to download/play. I'm running PCLinuxOS (basically Mandrake) on an AMD athlon 1900+ with anVidia 128mb video card. I downloaded the installer from sourceforge and installed--the installer reported success.

But when I try to start the game './ufoai', I get the following error:

./ufo-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I currently have libstdc++2.10 and libstdc++5 on my system.

Ideas?

you should have 2 options:

• compile the game yourself (see README in svn trunk)
• install libstdc++.so.6 (but i think there are other dependencies, too)

Hmmm I get a blank screen on WinXP with latest revision files (903)... No error message.

I run with:
AMD 2600
1 Go DDR
FX5200 128Mo
WinXP SP2

Is it because I use Direct3D instead of OpenGL ?

Maybe you need those creepy dlls mattn posted? I use those very same binaries, and it works for me.

[Malick]

Na, I got them... There's always a Windows mistery somewhere behind a problem.

EDIT: After deleting and reinstalling, I get an error message:
could not find font: f_small

Yes, there currently seems to be a non-functional revision in SVN. At least i think these errors are related.

Mattn recently made some changes to the font-handling code in SVN and after that his laptop crashed (HD-crash). As far as i know nothing concerning UFO:AI was lost, but it may take some time until he's back coding.

I already tried debugging this, but haven't found a solution yet.

I also have an error on startup, but a completely different one:

The file /etc/ufo.conf is not there and it isn't installed by the binary installer. I installed it as root. Also, ref_gl.so doesn't exist, that could be the reason too, How can I create it?
