Anyone have a clue?
No clue. This all started with kernel 2.6.8 in FC2. It's supposedly
happened because exec-shield changes, but disabling exec-shield doesn't
help. You may try windows version with winex/cedega - it can be made to
work.
They offer a dynamic version of the same thing, it runs like:
[brian@aquila ~]$ /shares/CivCTP/civctp.dynamic
/shares/CivCTP/civctp.dynamic: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_mixer-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It can't find the library. Fedora ships with newer version of the
library. You may try to find version from FC2 of FC1 and install
alongside with FC3 version.
Any chance of coaxing this to work, or is this an end-of-life issue?
I'm going to try to compile kernel without exec-shield and see if it helps.
Thanks
