Bug: Menu texts are blank

[maxphil]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with armagetronad v0.2.8.2.1 on my Gentoo Linux: the text from menu are completly blank (and blinking white/red) and also there is no background, as you can see on the attachment.

If i try to guess what's on the menu and try to go ahead, after 2 "return/enter" the game crashes and I'm back to the bash prompt, and this is what's in it:
Error: Error in void gCycle::MyInitAfterCreation() in tron/gCycle.cpp:1315 :
Neither classic style nor moviepack style model and textures found. The folders "textures" and "moviepack" need to contain either cycle.ase and bike.png or body.mod, front.mod, rear.mod, body.png and wheel.png.

Segmentation fault

Any help?

My system:
-GeForce 8800GTS (driver 100.14.19)
- Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Thanks.

The most probable cause for this would be that the texture loading fails. On gentoo, this can have a long list of reasons For example, your system may lack libpng, make sure you have it. If you do, make sure libsdl-image is compiled to use it, there may be a USE flag for it.

O I've had that before. I think I deleted my user.cfg file (.............../var/user.cfg) and it fixed it.

SOLVED.

After reading z-man hints a friend of mine (Mittmann)was able to help me out. The following command did the trick:
USE='gif png tiff' emerge -av sdl-image
