Hi folks.
I've recently downloaded and installed Vega Strike on Mandrake 10.1. I installed the following rpms:
vegastrike-0.4.1-2mdk
vegastrike-data-0.4.1-1mdk
vegastrike-data-music-0.3.1-1mdk
they were got from:
ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/10.1/i586/media/main
The installation process was ok, a link was created in the menu tree under the games category. However clicking this link has no efect. It seems to start up, but then do nothing.
After further investigation, i found an executable named /usr/games/vslauncher, when i run it from the console, a window pops up, and now i'm able to select a mission, i click on the 'new game' button and then get this output on the console:
WARNING: no var named DopplerScale in section audio using default: 1

Segmentation fault
I'm not running anything that could be using the sound device, when i run "modinfo soundcore" I get this:

depends:
Other games I installed (foobillard and tux racer), work ok. I think alsa is running fine, tho i don't know how to find out for certain.
any hint will be appreciated, i'm looking forward for a game of this kind.
Regards.
