Thanks Kaare,
A couple of things:
Installed the way you asked and it blew up, saw one splash screen and then nothing. I did remove other versions before installing the rpm's.
I could not install nethack-data first, not even by forcing it. --<snip>-- rpm -Uvh nethack_data-3.3.1-0.i686.rpm error: failed dependencies: nethack_binary is needed by nethack_data-3.3.1-0 obelix:/netshare/downloads/FalsonsEye # rpm -Uvh --force nethack_data-3.3.1-0.i686.rpm error: failed dependencies: nethack_binary is needed by nethack_data-3.3.1-0 --<snip>-- So, I tried to install nethack and nethack-data and then falcon's eye, but conflicts: --<snip>-- rpm -Uvh falconseye-1.9.3-0.i686.rpm error: failed dependencies: nethack conflicts with falconseye-1.9.3-0 --<snip>-- So, I deleted nethack and nethack-data and installed falconseye and nethack-data together and the re-installed falconseye. --<snip>-- rpm -Uvh falconseye-1.9.3-0.i686.rpm nethack_data-3.3.1-0.i686.rpm falconseye ################################################## nethack_data ################################################## obelix:/netshare/downloads/FalsonsEye # rpm -Uvh --force falconseye-1.9.3-0.i686.rpm falconseye ################################################## --<snip>-- What is the proper way to install it?
Yes, it just so happens that this is usually a sound problem (I've spent extraordinary amounts of time trying to figure all this out)... It turns out that EFFECTS and MUSIC cannot be turned on at the same time (no mixer). So, check out your /usr/share/games/nethack/config/jtp_opts.txt:
\begin play_music=1 #play_effects=1 linux_midi_player=/usr/bin/timidity -idqq %s \end
Another thing to check is whether your lock files are there (they shouldn't):
# rm -f /usr/share/games/nethack/*.0
I had a slightly different problem. The screen would come up, all black and then nothing. I have to kill -9 it. So then I tried to disable first effects, then sound, then both. The best I got was with effects disabled, or both disabled, the splash screen would appear and then everything close. This is the result in the terminal: nethack ......................ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:866:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy Can't open pcm device 'default'. Couldn't open ALSA pcm device (`s') I don't have any other apps open that use the sound.
