I installed Dwarf Fortress on my Linux VPS to use with dfterm. It's running Ubuntu 10.04 Server x86-32. I'm fairly certain I have all the dependencies:
I've installed:
- ncurses
- ncursesw
- libsdl
- libsdl-image
- libgtk
- libglu
- libopenal1
I had to turn sound off or it will instantly segfault, and I set the display mode to text. I've made no other changes to the config.
However, even before I go near dfterm, it won't run properly. It just displays a blank screen. What could be causing this? Is there a dependency I missed? Is there something else I should have changed in the config?
Given that it is a server, there is a good chance that if there is a missing dependency, it's something that the devs went "Sure, everyone has that" and didn't bother to list.
Other ncurses applications (vim, irssi use it, I think?) work fine.
