[SOLVED] Corsix-TH, works perfect except for midi music

Someone know the Corsix-th app?Is a nice "hack" to play the old game Theme-Hospital on modern systems.
The old theme-Hospital(a game for Windows 98) play bad with dosbox, the original iso works fine with corsix-th, simply copy all files from iso to a dir(for example /usr/local/games/th) and start corsix-th, after select the folder HOSP or the root of /usr/local/games/th the game start. Works all: sounds, graphic, cpu is low but..no midi sounds and so no music!
I have installed those packages

Code:

luasocket-3.0_rc1-x86_64-1ponce
freepats-20060219-noarch-2ponce
TiMidity++-2.15.0-x86_64-1ponce
corsix-th-0.64-x86_64-2mg
fluid-soundfont-3.1_5-noarch-1ponce
fluidsynth-2.1.7-x86_64-1mg
lua-lpeg-1.0.2-x86_64-1ponce
lua-filesystem-1.6.3-x86_64-1ponce
SDL2_mixer-2.0.4-x86_64-3

No error is reported, I have tried both version: the original Windows version and GOG version.
EDIT: Solved, after some days the music magically appear. Probably some package was outdated.

It is hard to tell what exactly happened, but my crystal ball tells me that you installed SDL2_mixer before you installed fluidsynth. In the course of the update SDL2_mixer was probably recompile, this time while fluidsynth was on the system. Fluidsynth is a compile time dependency of SDL2_mixer.

Check out this thread for other possible issues with SDL2_mixer.
