Well, the thread on the NWN linux forum doesn't seem to be yielding any 
results, so I guess I could post here and see if anyone has any ideas.

I copied the files from my windows installation, grabbed the beta and ran 
the ./fixinstall command. Everything looked good. Went to run it, got a 
blank screen, a beep and when I pressed a key got sent back to prompt. 
Figured ok, my SDL version is 1.2.4, so I'll just download the source and 
compile and install that. I've done many compilations of software, and the 
compile and install went off without any errors.

Reran nwn. This time all I get is "Error" printed on the line and I get 
returned to the prompt. Nobody seems to know what the problem is. I went 
along to last HUMBUG meeting and updated to debian-unstable, so I could get 
SDL 1.2.5. Still get the same thing. I've removed and re-copied the nwn 
stuff and still no joy. Read some FAQs and nobody seems to have seen my 
problem. That is, except for the 3 other people on the forum that also have 
the problem and don't have a solution either. It seems to be caused by 
compiling SDL from source, but I kinda figured that getting it as a .deb 
would fix that.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Trying to troubleshoot on 
forums/google with my current optus speed is a tad bit annoying.

Sandra.
