Description J M W 2010-10-09 23:25:46 UTC

Running smac on my AMD Phenom ii system results in a segfault. Strace shows this:

geteuid()                               = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)

This is on a brand new install of Gentoo. It probably has to do with using one of the recent kernels that made changes to the system calls (this is what I gathered by hashing it out with the folks on #Gentoo).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge smac 
2.run smac
3.Segmentation fault

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
The game should have run

You need to enable CONFIG_UID16 in your kernel.
