Some time ago I have tried to run Stepmania on Linux system. It was Kubuntu. I have found repository but after installing it didn’t work:
eshlox@eshlox stepmania-tip $ ./src/stepmaniaStepMania v5.0 beta 2aCompiled 20131225 @ 21:28:24 CET (UTC+01:00) (build 2)Log starting 2013-12-25 21:36:59

StepMania 5 has crashed. Debug information has been output to

I had the same problem after compilation from the source but i have found a solution - just disable GTK2 and everything will work correctly.
./configure --disable-gtk2make./src/stepmania
