installing attract mode on linux question

[nitrogen_widget]

My distro lacked the depends to compile SFML in 64 bit.
I found some info online and decided to give something a try.

So I downloaded the 64bit linux SFML binaries off the site, copied the 3 folders in the archive to my /USR directory.
Ran the following commands as SU:

ldconfig
export "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lib_folder/"

and compiled after installing attract-mode depends.
it worked and attract starts up & appears to run just fine.
will I have issues down the road or do you think i'll be ok?

Tough call, I've never tried using binaries that weren't compiled for the linux distro I am using.   There might be a tool you can use to check ABI compatability between what SFML expects and what your distro has.

 sorry I can't be much help on this one.

Then I guess i'll have to see if it breaks.
