[Crawl] Linux crash

Hi all,

I am trying to play Crawl 4.0.0 b26 on Linux. My problem is that, once I
create the character and would actually enter the game, it crashes on me
with no error message.

The only change I made to the source, so it compiled, was taking some
braces out on religion.cc (around line 68) because gcc was complaining
about braces on defining a constant. I have seen that fix mentioned on
this forum, so I assume that wouldn't make the game crash.

Has anyone had any similar problem, or do you need more information
about my system? I can still play on my mac, but I would like to be able
to play crawl on my main box...

Thanks in advance,
Pedro Gómez-Esteban

Ok, the problem had to do with permissions and creating folders before
installing crawl. If anyone using Gentoo Linux has problems installing
crawl, check this thread:

There is a post detailing how to make it work right in Gentoo.

Thanks anyway!
