supertux on puppy linux 4.1

#1 Post by gmdfunk »

I have been trying to get supertux to run on 4.1 and I keep coming up with the following error

Error: Couldn't load musicfile
/usr/local/supertux/src/../data/music/SALCON.MOD

I have been looking for a solution for 2 hours and I have been unable to fix it other than to start the game without sound.

What libraries do I need to play MOD files?

Thanks.

When you findout please do tell :)
I usually start it without sound, in a terminal type
supertux --disable-sound

SuperTux worked fine in Puppy 3.01 and previous releases of Puppy.
So if we find out what changed in relation to gxine, and the codecs for it, we may arrive at a solution.
I have tried playing the same mod music file directly from gxine and I get an error message of Unrecognized Stream.
So it sounds to me like gxine has lost the ability to play mod files after Puppy version 3.01
