Developed on Linux with glibc, little endian CPU. While MacIntel builds exist
(for some versions of the game), MegaGlest does not currently work on big
endian CPUs like PPC (though some unfinished patches for vanilla Glest float

Make sure no other application is using your soundcard. Typical problems are

http://openal.org or a newer repository provided by your distribution.
