Luxi.ttf: FT_New_Face failed: no error

Post by fdelente »

Hello.

I grabbed the svn trunk yesterday (9 Oct, 2006) and compiled it ok.

I unpacked the datafiles in trunk/game, then I started TASpring with ./spring

In answer I got "Luxi.ttf: FT_New_Face failed: no error", even though Luxi.ttf in right next to spring in the directory. In the console, I also get

*** glibc detected *** ./spring: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08536368 ***

and then a backtrace.

Any hint? Thanks.

You need to add a line to your ~/.springrc file that tells Spring where to find its gamedata (if your build is located in /home/user/games/Spring/build, for instance, add "SpringData=/home/user/games/Spring/build" without the quotes).
