Frozen Bubble Problem

[Evan]

Hello All. I've been trying to get frozen-bubble working, I installed it and it seemed to go fine, however when I try and run it, the program hangs right after it prints out [SDL Init]. I've tried re-downloading and installing all of the dependancies, (SDL, SDL-Mixer, SDL-Image,Perl and perl-SDL). Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have any idea why this is happening? There don't seem to be any error messages or anything.

Post the error message. I got it working on RedHat 7.2,7.3 and my gentoo -- no problem (other than updating my SDL...) Once the SDL was kosher, it worked fine. IIRC it was sdl-media....rpm that I needed to update. But anyhow post the error message.

No error message was given. This is everything that prints out:

[[ Frozen-Bubble-0.9.3 ]]

[SDL Init]

hello,
i have heard of sound servers hanging SDL apps, but this is due to SDL having a sound issue.

To solve the sound problems with SDL check which sound server you have and do
ie:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd

to make sdl works with esd
