/usr/lib/torcs/torcs-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/torcs/modules/graphic/ssggraph.so: undefined symbol: alutLoadWAVFile

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Reinhard, this looks like a bad openal migration :)

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

yeah, it looks for a symbol which used to be in openal, but has moved now to freealut. Need to investigate what went wrong during compilation.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

A temporary workaround for those hit with this bug is to use the plib sound system (Select Options, Sound from the main menu).

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

The attached debdiff applies a patches to config.h.in, configure.in, and the offending Makefile to really link against libalut (which makes it work :)).

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

Thank you for your patch, Emmet. I uploaded the package for you.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Built on all architectures. Thanks for uploading.
