LinBolo under Mandrake 9.1

Hello All,

I don't remember how exactly, but I stumbled across something that mentioned the release of LinBolo 1.1.3. This is great! I haven't played bolo since Mac version 0.99something or other.
Did Stuart ever release a version 1.0?

Anyway, So now that I'm a Linux user, I decided to give it a try. But I didn't have any luck.

When trying to start it up, LinBolo complains that it can't find libSDL_ttf-1.2.so.0. Mandrake 9.1 comes stock with libSDL_ttf2.0-2.0.5-4mdk. Which of course prevents me from installing libSDL_ttf-1.2.so.0.

I'm not going to downgrade just to run bolo. Any suggestions?

Thanks! (I'd really love to get back into bolo)

Version 1.0 of Bolo was never released.

A couple of suggestions for your library problems:

1. Place a copy of the required libraries in a new directory inside your home directory. Then before running linbolo export the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/correct/libs/are/in (Make sure you export the variable from the same console you are running linbolo from)

2. Try creating a symlink of the library version required to the current library version. This may or may not work depending on if the library has changed or not.
