Well, I begun tinkering with the psclient.cfg file. It looks like I lack certain plugins like the Image Loader. I have downloaded all four .rpm files needed from the Planeshift homepage. Is it possible that my library is of an incorrect version?

Does the game stop there or does it continue to load?

It stops right there. It creates a window which dies after 2-3 seconds.

I have tried everything: I downloaded the sources of Crystal Space along with all the other stuff it needs to compile (The ogg/vorbis sound libraries, the freetype font headers etc.) After two days of efforts, and after getting unable to get rid of the message \"iDialog: failed to initialise\", I quit.

A statically-linked binary would solve many problems. If this is impossible, at least a decent crystal-snapshot .rpm is mandatory.

I ran into similar problems.  The game would load the title screen, but after I logged in, the screen would render and then the game would crash.  In my case, I believe that it had something to do with the sound renderer.  I edited my psclient.cfg and put the semicolon back in front of the line: System.PlugIns.iSoundRender = Crystalspace.sound.render.software

The game seems to work fine for me now.
