The error I get is:

dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did an upgrade the other day and that might have caused it (apt-get upgrade).

I'm running mepis-sid.

Any advice would be welcome - I miss Space Quest 3 😒

Have you tried grabbing the latest version of libFLAC and installing it to whereever DOSBox is looking for it?

libFLAC is a dependency of libSDL_sound, that is an optional library for dosbox. You could try to fix libSDL_sound, or if you compile dosbox yourself, deactivate the support for libSDL_sound (it is only used for audio decoding of cd images).

I'm trying to fix libSDL_sound but when I mark it to be updated (I'm using Synaptic), Synaptic tells me it's going to uninstall a zillion very important-looking things. Don't know what to do.

Odd... I tried to install that libsdl_sound thing by downloading it off of debian and installing it manually but it needed flac6 while I have 4 installed.

Anyhow, after that failed, I reinstalled dosbox from debian and I don't get the issue anymore. Not sure what changed. Anyhow, thanks all for your input.
