Hmm, are you using the same version of OpenAL that worked the last time
you could successfully run the game?  You could try using the same
OpenAL that came with UT2K4, copy it into the freespace2 directory and
use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./freespace2 -g -w".  Just
remember to rename the OpenAL lib to the same name that the freespace2
binary is trying to use.

Yeah, that needs to be chopped up and formated in a per-line way.  I'll
add that to my list.  mprintf() should only do something when using a
debug build.  If you don't use a debug build and it still happens then
let me know.
