Fedora12 and spring engine

[chcarver]

Just FYI: Fedora 12 out of the box with installing springlobby (su -c 'yum install springlobby'), does not work as of Dec 2009. When it tries to start a game it comes up with some _shadow error. And to top it off Springlobby states the version is to old.

I left the yum package installed, and then compiled the latest and greatest spring engine and installed it, but then Springlobby would just complain. So then I got the latest springlobby source (along with the needed *devel packages to build it), and now it all works. I also see the Springlobby is a bit different too.

I'm trying to figure out now, why large maps (Trenches) will not work. The spring engine just hangs in a sleeping state after the initial screen finalizes loading the game. But small maps work fine.

I really appreciate the community for their efforts in keeping TA alive. I really enjoyed the game when it came out and have fallen in love all over again.
