Hello, I did further investigations, why freeciv diesn't work on my machine at home. I traced down the source and found the exact position in the code, where the problem occures. I appended a little patch which includes two "printf"-lines into xmain.c of FreeCiv-1.7.2. It is exactly the same problem with 1.8 (it is in the same statement of xmain.c also in 1.8), which I compiled myself from the potato source package.
Does anybody have an idea what to do or do I have to subscribe to the freeciv mailing list? Kind regards Andreas.
