Trying to build your own version of Vega Strike and having problems? Unix users, paste your config.log here (stderr output alone is not helpful).

Any idea what might be the cause and how I can improve this?
Sound works fine.

Hmm, the soundserver executable looks for the music directory in "../music". Try moving you executables ot the music directory.
Does that fix it or is it the other errors?

For me the setup from the SVN howto worked.

The problem seems to have been my audio drivers went berserk somehow. After reinstalling and recompiling everything works fine.
