when i try to fire up ascendancy (or the setsound.exe - auto detect hardware), dosbox segfaults:

the backtrace doesn't look too helpful, i've included it non the less.

i can run other games. i played eye of the beholder yesterday, with sound and everything.

a friend of mine played ascendancy with dosbox on windows and said, it worked quite well (with sound and all). maybe i'll try that to, so i can rule out a hardware problem.

if you can compile dosbox your self you shouldn't strip the binary and compile it with
CXXFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O2"

did you try the cvs of dosbox ?

For now, using a 32-bit build is faster (hopefully that will change soon), but making such a build yourself is quite difficult. I think you will have to live with it for now, or use a prebuilt 32-bit linux binary.
