Crash on startup with "Cannot open "techniques/fixed_simple"

Strange really... ran fine last night the first time after compilation.
Tried it in the morning: BAM!

I get:

Code: Select all

Creating planet niven A with texture stars/white_star.texture and technique  - unitlevel <= 2
Compilation of technique fixed successful
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Audio::FileOpenException'
  what():  Cannot open "techniques/fixed_simple.technique"
Aborted
Seems to be crashing for some odd reason to do with audio... Tried running with all audio and music killed off on VSSetup, and no luck.
Config log added.

Sorry about the location of the post - I wasn't sure where to put it as I compiled it myself but it failed AFTER the first time.

Running:
Kubuntu 10.04, 32 bit

Nothing really odd about my system that *I* can tell...

It's not audio, forget about the Audio::bit, it's only that the exception is defined in the audio package.

Tons of confusion from that... I'll have to raise some other exception I guess.

Try running vssetup again and reconfiguring VS.
I suspect it might be related to that.

How strange. Changed every single setting to something else and tried again - nada.

I even delete .vegastrike from my /home/USER dir, same again.

I will attach a complete crash log from bash to this reply...

See this thread, it's about the same problem.
