I just compiled it without fmod at all. Kinda sucks, but hopefully a solution will be found to replace fmod.

How did you deal with the audio hurdle? Did you solve it, or did you take the option to compile without audio? I have been trying to get SL compiled with audio, but from what it looks like SL requires fmod 3.75 - which doesn’t exist for x86_64. Did you get it to work with FMOD Ex? If so, do you have a diff file of what you modified to get that done?

Thanks, I’d certainly like to apt-get a second life, and I’ll be happy to do some testing.

I know you’re trying to actually compile it yourself, with hopes of creating an Ubuntu package, but there is a Linux client binary that actually works and is mostly stable - http://secondlife.com/community/linux-alpha.php

You should take a look at the various patchs made by other distribution, like the one made by Mandriva (http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/secondlife/current/SOURCES/ )
( or wait until this is merged upstream : http://blino.org/blog/mandriva/games/secondlife.html )
