FSO does not start in Linux Mint Debian Edition
I used to play FSO in linux mint main edition (which is Ubuntu based)

Some months ago I switched to LMDE 64 bit.(which is debian based).

I read all the install wiki about FSO and after updating some libraries I get this when starting FSO in terminal:

Code: [Select]
./fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_r
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 661: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

Can anyone tell me how I can get FSO running?

Thanks in advance.

Re: FSO does not start in Linux Mint Debian Edition
Are you using fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_r downloaded from the release thread, or one you compiled yourself?  If it's one from the release thread then it's quite old and some of the libraries it was compiled with may now be out of date with a recent version of Linux. 

Compiling your own exec may be the simplest fix, instructions can be found here.

Yes, it was indeed the  fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_r from the release thread. Thanks for the link.

edit: It worked! I downloaded the latest code with svn and compiled it with gcc. That was easy. :-)

Now I have to get wxlauncher compiled and I'm happy.

edit II: after some forum searching sucessfully compiled wxlauncher and installing "the works" with openInstaller. :-)

Thanks guys and 100 internets to niffiwan.
