Nice looking characters! Would it be possible to have separate image for whole character and separate for the background? Using these charaters would much easier if whole character would have plain character with transparent background.
Hmm, you could try running this command "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs". It might help if you have 64bit system. Seems that I have installed way before compiling the Flare so this was missing...
Depending what packets you downloaded. Also flare-engine and flare-game might be in your home folder.If they are easiest way to clean these two is use file browser and just delete those two directories. So last time you couldn't compile SDL2_ttf since you were missing freetype.So if you can see freetype-2.5.5 directory just go there and type "./configure" "make" and "sudo make install"After this "cd .." "cd SDL2_ttf-2.0.12" "./configure" "make" and "sudo make install"After this you should have working and installed SDL2.

You should type all these commands into terminal. Just open one terminal and type all commands there. Commands are make assumptions about your folders so these must be run in right order or you need to manually make sure you are in right folder. That's one reason why I put comment before each command. Second thing is that you should never run a command which you do not understand what it does.
./configure is a script to make building configurations that match on your system. It should write in terminal and in folder which contains that script.
I made quite detail instructions how to compile Flare from master to Ubuntu 12.04. Good thing here is when there is update available you just need to fetch new version from repository and recompile it.
I made list where first is comment about what command does this starts with #. Other texts are commands that should copy pasted to terminal.
#In my case it did not work at this moment I had to following:
#Go to configure folder
cd ~/.config/flare
#Copy mods configuration to config folder
cp ~/flare/flare-engine/mods/mods.txt .
# Open settings.txt to text editor
gedit settings.txt
#Look for hwsurface=1 and change that 0 and save file
#Try running Flare again
cd ~/flare/flare-game
./flare
When there is update for flare you just go to flare-engine and flare-game folders and say git pull. If there are any updates it should be visible. If there were updates on flare-engine after that say "make clean" and then "make" and you got a new updated version of Flare.

Yes, GPLv3 is fine.

Hmm, I did not encounter this problem. You could try typing "echo $DISPLAY"
If it shows empty line then type "export DISPLAY=:0.0" and after this try running the flare again from same terminal.
I tried to search help for that error message but helps very a bit different and I am not sure which might help for you if above one does not help.
I think there is no need to clean the mess. I'll teach you couple of command. First
command cd changes the directory. ls list content of current directory. So first type "cd flare"
and then "ls" and it should like something like this:
flare-engine SDL2-2.0.3 SDL2_mixer-2.0.0
flare-game SDL2-2.0.3.tar.gz SDL2_mixer-2.0.0.zip
freetype-2.5.5 SDL2_image-2.0.0 SDL2_ttf-2.0.12
freetype-2.5.5.tar.gz SDL2_image-2.0.0.tar.gz SDL2_ttf-2.0.12.tar.gz

Sorry, I missed compiling FreeType2 Library. So before compiling SDL2_ttf go to working directory:
cd ~/flare #Assuming you made flare folder into your home folder.
#Get freetype source codes
wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.5.5.tar.gz
# Decompress it
tar xvf freetype-2.5.5.tar.gz
# Go to folder
cd freetype-2.5.5
# Configure build system
./configure
# Compile it
make
# Install it
sudo make install
# and now continue build SDL2-ttf
# Go back to working dir
cd ..
# Go to decompressed folder
cd SDL2_ttf-2.0.12
#Configure your built system
./configure
# Compile SDL2 ttf
make
# Install it
sudo make install
Now continue from previous instructions.

When there is update for flare you just go to flare-engine and flare-game folders and say git pull. If there are any updates it should be visible. If there were updates on flare-engine after that say "make clean" and then "make" and you got a new updated version of Flare.
Epic music! I was listening songs and when I played this one I could recognize this was made by you! Great job!
You could check out this RPG sound pack I made. It contains sounds of seagulls, ravens and some small birds(I think they are sparrows).
