Perhaps our maintainer has been too busy? I tried a manual build of freeciv-2.1.9 with both the gtk and SDL front ends and it worked ok (on 10.5), with no real changes required to the current info file. Don't know whether it will work on 10.6, but it probably has a much better chance than 2.0.5. Hanspeter -- Hanspeter Niederstrasser hanspeter AT snaggledworks DOT com |
