The package gargoyle-free in Mageia 3 and 4 has been broken for a while because of packaging flaws. I've fixed the issues, and also updated gargoyle-free from version 2011.1 to a more recent SVN snapshot (development is not particularly active, but this snapshot brings in a few bug fixes and makes it possible to drop some patches).
Advisory: ========= Mageia's version of the gargoyle-free was broken in Mageia 3 and Mageia 4 because of packaging mistakes. These issues have been fixed and some improvements to the packaging have been made too: additional of a desktop file and its icon, inclusion of a necessary config file in /etc/garglk.ini. The version has also been updated to an SVN snapshot from upstream which includes only bugfixes over the 2011.1 release.

Testing procedure: ================== With the package from core/release: ----------------------------------- - Start "gargoyle" in a terminal. It fails with an issue about not being able to locate libgarglk.so. With the package from core/updates_testing: ------------------------------------------- - Using your browser, download some interactive fictions from ifdb.tads.org See for example the "IFDB Recommends..." links at the bottom of the page, that should show you a random selection of games. A download link is often available at the right hand side of the game's wiki page. - Start "gargoyle" in a terminal or using the menu entry in the Games submenu. It should open a file selection dialog. - Select one of the game files you downloaded (if it was in a zipped archive, you should first unzip it). - Play for a while and enjoy your first interactive fiction if you've never tried the genre :-) - You can try to load interactive fictions with a different extension (and thus a different format) to make sure that all interpreters are working.

works well, but found a few bugs (directly told to akien), adding feedback marker until Akien decides to push this update or a new one (for me this one is good enough).

Assigning back to me for now, apparently going with the latest SVN revision was not as harmless as I thought. I'll investigate.

I've reverted back to the previous 2011.1 version which worked fine (apart from the packaging bug that made it useless :-p). See the testing procedure in comment 2 and comment 4.

You have to download game binaries from (among others) ifdb.tads.org as pointed out in comment 2. You can also use the direct links to some example games in comment 4.
Testing MGA4 x64 real h/w. Installed gargoyle-free from release media. $ gargoyle indeed clagged immediately about not being able to locate libgarglk.so as described in Comment 2; the actual fault in question. Updated to gargoyle-free-2011.1-4.2.mga4 (Comment 7) from Updates Testing. Downloaded the 4 games given in Comment 4 - thanks Rémi for these links. Need to unzip a couple of them. $ gargoyle Menu Games -> Gargoyle both now launch a file picker. Chose each game in turn, and progressed marginally with them. They clearly work (I did not crack CoSv3.blb help items). This has to be OK.
