I was waiting for this game before, i shall be waiting for it a little
longer :)
anyway, i have symlinked my own sdl file, same result. 32 bit library
seemed to work, but with same error messages.
" try remapping those mouse buttons to keys or lower button values to
fool Prey" not sure how to do it, but i have sneaking suspicion that it
might break my mouse side/scrolling buttons for Xwindows, i am not keen
on that to be honest, i know how to use xmodmap, but i decide against
it, nothing personal i really appreciate that you honestly told me there
is issue.

If you want to test patch that will help me with buttons, i of course
would be glad to help to test it.

Thank you!
