Thanks. Merely renaming dfhack.init now allows ./dfhack to start and launch the game. I'll try building stonesense when I have some time, but it's not something I use a lot. I just can't live without dfhack and DwarfTherapist.

Installed fine on Ubuntu 10.4, but there are run-time problems:

hack won't start at all; it gives an immediate segfault.

df works OK, but occasionally segfaults.

DT hasn't shown any problems so far.

Haven't tried stonesense.

Here's what happens if I run hack:

./dfhack -g
