linux: can't get into setup screen, but can play game

[DarthStitch]

Got a bit of a wierd problem, I can play the game alright, but I can't get at the setup gui. I try to run setup and I just get a message saying "segmentation fault". I tried running vegastrike --setup but that just starts the game, won't load the setup stuff.

any tips?

Thanks.

I have the same issue with Mandrake 10.1.

Here is the message the setup program prints:
vsinstall.sh: line 21: 3734 Segmentation fault $CURPWD/setup

I ran it through strace and this seems to be the problem (for me at least):
open("/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Any idea on how I can fix that?

I should also add that the file doesn't exist in either place.

interesting... they don't exist for me either and the game works fine

I guess you'll have to resort to emacs for your editor

I'm also getting seg faults with setup, under a fresh install of Fedora Core 3.

had no trouble with .9b

also tried this patch at: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=16906

but with no success.

the 9b setup thing is at http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/hellcatv/vssetup
the new one is at http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users/hellcatv/vssetup.dynamic
seems like different distros will only work with one or the other
