So I tried to run DoomRL i386 linux version on my system, but the game didn't start. This is what error.log says:
Code: [Select]

I've tried also 0.9.9.4, nosound version worked for me.

EDIT: No files from older version were used - clean slate.

Last I remember, installing Timidity is not a fun experience. I just turned music off since I don't have Timidity, but people tell me that I should try to use the mp3s instead. I'm lazy so I'm content with playing without music. Luckily sound != music, so you can still hear the game noises.

Edit: Here is the time this happened to me http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3865.msg32182.html#msg32182

I tried to use mp3s instead of midi - produces the same error message. But disabling music worked! Thank you.
(If the next version will have the same problem, I'll take a look at Timyditi, though.)

I'm assuming if it gave you the same message it's because the musicmp3.lua still points to one midi file which won't work without Timidity. I finally tried to get the mp3s to work, but they didn't. I was able to get music to work, but it wasn't straight forward. You can read more about it here http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,5248.0.html
