Set them to a configuration that works, if no one does, please report the failure at the project's page at sourceforge: http://tacticsgame.sourceforge.net
You can also try deleting the configuration file and letting the game start with the default.
You should also check that the files fontc.bmp and Cmd.bmp are in the same directory as the executable file.
In Linux, check that the SDL and OpenGL runtime libraries are correctly installed.
