Bug 53640 – games-roguelike/tome-2.2.7 Unable to prepare any 'display module'!

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matthias Foerste 2004-06-11 07:18:20 UTC]

When trying to run tome 2.2.7 in console it would abort with the error message
tome: Unable to prepare any 'display module'!
The reason is that the ebuild doesn't compile tome with curses support.

Created attachment 33086 [details, diff]
fixing patch for ebuild

For some wierd reason the curses support in makefile.std isn't enabled.
Attached patch fixes this (and Bug #53636) for me.

This behavior still seems to occur in 2.2.7-r1.  Perhaps the patch was not applied to the new ebuild?  Game is unplayable in default emerged state.  Increase severity to major?

[Comment 3 Matthias Foerste 2004-07-11 17:40:52 UTC]

You are right, r1 just adressed http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53636, which was a different issue with the original ebuild. If you dont want to wait until one of the devs has the time to go into this, you should either be able to play under X or apply the attached patch to the original ebuild and remerge tome.

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-09-25 06:07:30 UTC]

Added some sed patching that should fix this.  Resync/remerge to get text mode again.
