Spring RTS Engine

Well, after an afternon on #sy, leaving auswaschbar, det, and koshi telling me i'm screwed, i've decided to post it here in hope of someone solving this eventually.

Yesterday i upgraded ubuntu to 9.10 because the latest engine was not in the 9.04 repos.

Big mistake.

After turning it on today and updating the engine and SL, SL told me it could not load my unitsync library. i checked, and the directory was fine. running the spring executable alone does nothing, with the error: i have the latest (1.2.0) libdirectfb packages, and i have no idea why spring is looking for old ones.
ldd /usr/games/spring | grep direct
tells me: which i assume makes sense, since i have the latest version (1.2.0).

det asked me to do a bunch of things, not all of which i remember, including checking the md5 hash of my executable (which was ok).

this is basically what is going on, so if anyone can help at all, it'd be greatly appreciated.

P.S. SL doesn't see any of my maps or mods, even though they are in the correct dirs. weird.

I have no idea why it's looking for this at all, Spring doesn't render to framebuffer. It's probably an SDL dependency. Any you can probably just fix it by creating a symlink for libdirectfb-1.0.so.0 -> libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 (or downgrade libdirectfb, though that may break other new software).

how would i go about making the link?

and what about the unitsync and SL not finding my maps/mods?

unitsync will be just as screwed with not found deps prolly

where are the files i need to link?

man locate
man find

well Spliff, after making a few links (for libfusion as well), everything works.

thanks so much to everyone that helped (this thread doesn't include the entire afternoon spent on #sy)
