dwarf fortress on Debian x64 Wheezy

got these errors at start

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

solved by adding i386 architecture and installing a couple of packages

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386

this does not fix the OpenAL sound issue, but I disable the sound anyway

renamed from "perl hunting" to "blue collar dev" to fit my current mood

profiling Catalyst applications with Devel::NYTProf

While attempting to profile a Catalyst application with Devel::NYTProf, I kept getting errors when processing the nytprof.out file because the file was not closed properly.

The solution from http://fkumro.blogspot.ro/2011/11/using-nytprof-with-catalyst.html did not work, kept getting "panic at nytprofcalls line 191" messages.

What worked was starting with

perl -d:NYTProf scripts/myapp_server.pl

adding a

sub stop :Path {
    exit(0);
}

in the Root.pm and loading that in  the browser to stop the server.
