Try remerging with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS set to "-pipe" please.

[Comment 2 Matthew Gleed 2004-07-16 22:25:57 UTC]

I wasn't sure if you were asking me to to add -pipe (which I already had in my make.conf) or to try only -pipe.  I set my CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to only -pipe and re-emerged allegro (because chickens seems to depend on it) and chickens.  I get the same error message.  Thanks.

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-07-16 22:44:35 UTC]

Couple things:

First, run it under strace and attach the output as a text/plain.
Second, try remerging allegro with your use flags set to "+X -alsa +arts +esd -fbcon +mmx +oss +sse -static -svga -tetex" and see if that makes a difference.

I'm suspecting some kind of alsa error at this point, but it's hard to say.
Works fine for me here.

Should be fixed in 0.2.4.  Go ahead and reopen if there's still a problem.
