[solved] Could not initialize SDL

[Dark Simon]

Hi.
I have a big problem with spring in ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)
When i start the spring engine, i've this problem:
xmessage
Could not initialize SDL

How do i fix?
Thanks so much :)

try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian

though i am pretty sure this will not help.

The error means, that one of the subsystems of SDL was not initialized properly, but sprign does currently not log the exact reason of the error, so... maybe someone else has an idea what it woudl be, i do now.
(Will implement logging the error for future spring versions)

the answer of terminal is:
libsdl1.2debian is update at latest version
I thought previously to update this pakage but I have't results.
Thanks anyhow

I solved this problem, with install of SDL library from package .tar.gz : (./configure - make - make install)
