Yeah sorry, was a bit unspecific but I too got this updated version, dl it from the site you mentioned. Installed it using the application manager and this workd just fine, no error message. Now when I go to the menu entery for Nethack and click on it, nothing happens. Is there some other way to start it or something (like command line maybe) that one could get at least an error message or something?
I admit I don't have the very latest version installed yet, so I suspect this may be a bug in the update. Would it be too much trouble to contact the developer/porter about this? Josep is a nice guy.
