i am using latest game version and pak64

Which is? (101.0, 102.0 or latest nightly?)

There is a known problem with sounds and Linux. Please try to start with options nosound and nomidi, e.g. "simutrans.exe -nosound -nomidi".

Press <ENTER> to continue...

i googled and found that GLIBC_2.4 was only experimenal and was junp from 2.3 to 2.5

I think it is better for you to get the 102 direkt from sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196471

At the moment I can give you no help with your glibc-problem

It's glibc 2.4 or higher. I guess you need to install or update it.

In any case, to check if you've all you need to run Simutrans installed, go to simutrans directory and type this command:

Code: [Select]

ldd simutrans

This will check if simutrans dependencies are installed or not.
