Linux temperance 4.9.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.210-1 (2020-01-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm mostly just posting so other people can make it work.

At first it was hanging. When I sent ^C, I got:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:674:(snd_determine_driver) could not open control for card 0
ALSA lib conf.c:3328:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load_for_all_cards returned error: Invalid argument

and it would start without sound.

To get this to work with sound I had to edit ./Neocolonialism to contain the line:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER='dsp'

This might mean that a library is missing. Perhaps running "ldd ./neocol" will give you some information, and it might be as simple as installing another package.
