Yes folks, it was released this weekend. However, I've not been able to get 
it to work.

Firstly the version of libSDL that it requires. 1.2.5 ... unfortunately this 
is not in debian stable tree it's in the unstable tree and I'll need to do a 
dist upgrade to get it. This is 350 odd meg, and unfortunately there is no 
free downloads on optusnet cable.

I tried to compile libSDL 1.2.5 from source. This appeared to work, but now 
instead of ./nwn almost loading and then exiting immediately, I get "Error" 
and it doesn't even leave the prompt.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm running the nvidia kernel and x drivers, so I've 
got 3d acceleration already.

Also, has anyone been able to get it to work? I'll probably be at the next 
HUMBUG so if anyone wants to troubleshoot together etc I'm in. I'll also be 
willing to try some multiplayer games if there are enough of us that can get 
it up and running. I have heaps of modules, and the linux server is free.

Sandra.
