[Solved] Frozen Bubble no-go in SOHO 5.8

[nubcnubdo]

Here is the terminal output for Frozen Bubble. I got just about the same result in Slackware 12.0:

Code: [Select]

user:$ frozen-bubble
Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51.
What will it take to get FB on SOHO?

I just downloaded FrozenBubble from the repository and it works just fine.... Where did you obtain your  program from?

Where did you get frozen-bubble from?
I just got it from slapt-get and it pulled the needed deps

Code: [Select]

root:# slapt-get --install frozen-bubble
Reading Package Lists... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  SDL_Pango perl-gettext frozen-bubble

I got it from here:
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.8/packages/games

EDIT: I followed uelsk8s instructions, and all went well. Thanks

Hi ,
I'm having the same problem as noted in the original post, with the same error.
I removed the original build and used the noted repository.
Slapt-get installed, right down to the icon in the games directory,
trouble is when I try to launch it starts then fails.
Checking it out in terminal gives the fail to compile at line 51 error.
Is gettext really looking for an object that has a different version, or is the trouble
further back and it's just reporting at this point?
Any input would help ( bloody game is truly addictive }
Thanks
