Well, I ended up wiping the laptop, and installing Gentoo :) I've got matching library versions for libsdl and sdl-net on both machines. The 32 bit box ran dosbox once, and every time since then has been a segmentation fault that caused SDL to go splat. I think, however, that I may have found a …

http://frida.fri.utc.sk/~sam/devel/links-sdl/sdl-env-vars the one you used seemed to be correct. Be sure to unset that DOSBOX_MIXER variable then as that one disables dosbox sound output. I suggested that as the crash was in sdl it's audio appartment. Yeah, I did unset it :) Need to poke a bit …

Silly question time: What environment variable controls SDL? Tried SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa, and that didn't seem to do anything useful other than make dosbox think there was no driver at all!

Create a configfile to change them MIXER:No Sound Mode Selected. ALSA:Can't subscribe to MIDI port (65:0) MIDI:Opened device:none MODEM:Can't open listen …

🙁 Nope. Did that with the CVS copy (and should have said so). I'm tempted to blow this machine away anyway, as it's getting a bit crufty (and I want to load Gentoo on it).

Decided to test the CVS version of the code. Same problem exists.

Just downloaded the 0.61 src rpm, compiled. No issues in the compile other than a few warnings. Dependency compilation noted that libGL was required. The rpm built, so it must have found the dependency. Go to install, complains about libGL. Override with nodeps. Go to run, and ~/Files/rpm> dosbox …
