Did anybody try Nethack / Falcon's Eye on SuSE 8.1?
As the others here on SLE have noted, SuSE muffed up the RPMs because Falcon's Eye requires Nethack 3.3.1 while SuSE packaged Nethack 3.4.0 without knowing the consequences to FE. (FYI, this has been covered on the FE mailing list, http://pub78.ezboard.com/fnethackfalconseyefrm2). At any rate, installing the Nethack/FE SRPMs from SuSE 8.0 worked. It seems there's enough demand for me to distribute them, so reply to this message if you would like to see them up there. [If you need to play FE -now-, simply grab the Nethack/FE RPMs from your local SuSE 8.0 mirror.] BTW, Jaakko Peltonen, the author of FE, is spending most of his time of Ultima IV: The Dawn of Virtue (http://www.hut.fi/~jtpelto2/ultima4/) which is why development on FE is very slow. But, the new version will have better audio, better/more graphics/animations, and an improved UI.
