Well, from what I can gather, that client is mostly Croquet based
cleaned up on the client end. I think I've gotten past the libGl issue
with an update kmod-nvidia, now I'm dealing with openAL for sound and
that beast is funky. I'm dealing with the setup features and other than
the lib and include settings, I'm not sure just what to put in the other
parameters. (openal-config which is in /usr/bin) I think if I get that
beat, I may have a chance. Ric
