Gentoo x86_64 can´t install it!

I tried everything, the pngs are not corrupt or something. I also replaced the textures with other images, but this didn't help. My guess is, that the part of the script, that opens (or converts? I don't know the code) the pngs isn't working properly. As you have seen on my screenshot, floor-textures aren't working, too (the ones on the main menu). Maybe there's a problem with the SDL framework? I'm using version 1.2.11 from portage.

Maybe, but the other PNGs don't show the same problems in the strace, The wheel texture is special in that it's the only one that apparently triggers an error. The others don't load fine either, that's true.

That's what I have installed as well. I've also got SDL_image 1.2.5-r1 and libpng-1.2.12-r1, and Gentoo x86. Is your Gentoo compiled for 64 bit? Would you be willing to run the game through a debugger and try to see what really happens?

(Nearly) my config. I'm using libpng-1.2.13. Maybe there's the problem?

No, not yet, because I read there might be problems with some programs like flash. An the performance advantage is not as big as it would help me much.

Sure, but I don't really know what to do (I haven't debugged a program for linux yet, even if I'm working with Java and C++ under Windows)

Hmm, I think I figured it out....
I tried the old libpng, what didn't work. Then I reemerged SDL_image, DirectFB and emerged DirectFB-extra(what was not installed before). After this change, everything is ok now

Thx for your help

Ahh, good. Although it's strange: I upgraded my libpng and reemereged sdl-image and still don't see this problem. Perhaps there is just a subtle binary incompatibility?
