Thanks Alot ! That solved the Mystery - get a lil worried coz i have to reinstall the game and cant live without sound

Ahhh Thanks ! I got a little worried see ...

Hmm .. Where to download the music files?? If going after the link here there are NO music files there .. whatta crap

Well it look's like the guys at OpenSUSE got a grip of things that we need the file seem's to derivate from an OpenSUSE 10.2 package compiled from cvs20071202 that can be found here: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/elc/43134 There is the maintainer of the package and so on ....

Hmm ... cvs ... i installed all dependencies and get the source from: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.elc.berlios.de:/cvsroot/elc co elc then when i trying make -f Makefile.linux the compiler bails out whith the following error: cc1: error: unrecognized option `-Wdeclaration-after-statement' make: *** [2d_objects.o] Fel 1 I am not a programmer so whats wrong here and how to deal whith it? why arent there sources with a configure or autogen scripts? But well i was able to get my hands on a WORKING BINARY with working sound and all ... that works on my Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6.13 !! Praise The Lord !!! here it is: ftp://kahli.homeunix.org/Linux/elc-1.5.0.vaxx.bin.tar.gz my box is: Slackware Linux 10.2 kernel 2.6.13

Thanx for your interest in this issue Well I CAN play whithout sound - but the coolness and athmosphere in the game went off - a decent game should have sound - i wonder if the sound problems are some issue of OpenAL but i have the latest openal 0.8 libs installed and anyway when el.x86.linux.bin bails out with "Illegal Instruktion" it seems like it try to access some hardware in some strange way - i really dont know ... well here the output of ~/.elc/error_log.txt Log started at 2007-12-04 15:09:04 localtime (CET) [15:09:04] Using the server profile: main [15:09:11] * server www.eternal-lands.com filename http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [15:09:11] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [15:09:11] Finished downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [15:09:12] * server www.eternal-lands.com filename http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates/custom_files.lst [15:09:12] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates/custom_files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [15:09:12] Finished downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates/custom_files.lst [15:09:36] Warning: ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT not found. Unable to retrieve list of sound devices. I guess tha last line have something to do whith it

Well i have tried this but it not works either : in my ~/.openalrc (define devices '(esd)) and then i get a crash with this message: B: 1.5 esd grab audio ok Illegal instruktion o.m.g this is tedius and no fun - i rather having fun PLAYiNG the game

I have downloaded elc-150 linux version and the sound and music to it - when i try to enable the music it crashes with "illegal instruction" and the error log says : Warning: ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT not found. Unable to retrieve list of sound devices. i guess its a problem with ALSA or OpenAL but i am no expert so what must i do to get this to work?' I have looked and googled on this issue but i dont even get a clue - compiling from CVS doesent work either - i try to run the Windows exe with wine and there i have sound but the games runs crappy so that is not an alternative for me ... well get the source package would maybe be great ... my box is: Slackware Linux 10.2 kernel 2.6.13 PIII 1000Mhz NV20 [GeForce3 Ti 200] 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio
