Thank you for the prompt and detailed reply! I'll follow your instructions (on testing alure) after I home to my desktop (hopefully on Monday.)
I'm away, on my laptop for the weekend. My laptop is a loongson lemote, a 64-bit little-endian mips netbook. Also running debian unstable. I tried sludge-engine on Out Of Order on my laptop, and got curious results. First the mouse pointer was warped to the center of the screen, then the screen went black (including the mouse cursor disappearing) then it stayed black for a while. I went to VT1 to see what was up, and sludge-engine wasn't using enough CPU (if any) to show in the top results of the "top" program. I switched back to VT7, and sludge-engine had exited, after outputting like so: lemote ~> sludge-engine out-of-order.slg Error loading libdumb.so: libdumb.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory AL lib: pulseaudio.c:612: Context did not connect: Connection refused Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 731: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! zsh: exit 127 sludge-engine out-of-order.slg Odd... So I look for libdumb.so: lemote ~> apt-file search libdumb.so audacious-dumb: /usr/lib/audacious/Input/libdumb.so libdumb1: /usr/lib/libdumb.so.1 libdumb1: /usr/lib/libdumb.so.1.0.0 libdumb1-dev: /usr/lib/libdumb.so libdumb.so is only in the -dev package (which I don't have installed). Is that normal? I don't know enough to know whether the problem is that the library is packaged wrong, or if something is linking to libdumb.so when it should be linking to libdumb.so.1. I just checked my desktop (via ssh) and it also has libdumb.so only in the -dev package, but there I do have libdumb1-dev installed (which explains why I didn't get the link error before writing the initial bug report.) Please let me know if I should file a separate bug about this linking issue (and whether it should be against sludge or libdumb.)
