On inspection, the abuse.x version is SGID root, which should instead probably be SUID root. This seems to solve my problems. Too bad the games and gamma.lsp files are not saved to the user's home directory instead, but then I don't expect you have the source code to make this possible ;-). >> (3) Console Version >> abuse should have a dependency on aout-svgalib, as this is needed to >> get it to execute from the console.

I don't think separate .deb's are a good idea. The problem I had was I had not installed aout-sgvalib, and on running sabuse ldd complained about svgalib being the wrong exec format (it picked up the elf version instead). It took me a while to figure out what was wrong. Perhaps even pointing this out in /usr/doc/abuse would be a distinct improvement. Thanks again Gordon
