OpenQwaq Forum Error-Collection of common programming errors

I’m trying to get OpenQwaq 1.0.01 to work, currently running Ubuntu 12.04. When I start it up in the terminal I get this string first off:

ioLoadModule(/home/cody/Desktop/OpenQwaq1.0.01/lib/squeak/3.9-7/QAudioPlugin):
  libmc_dec_aac.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ioLoadModule(/home/cody/Desktop/OpenQwaq1.0.01/./bin/../lib/squeak/3.9-7/QAudioPlugin):

  libmc_dec_aac.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As well as this:

Python initialization failed:
Error: /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload does not exist or is empty

But it still starts up and lets me get past logging in. When I try to join a forum, however, I get the following string:

ALSA lib ../../third-party/alsa-lib-1.0.17a/src/conf.c:3009:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /etc/alsa//alsa.conf

As well I get this message in OpenQwaq:

pyLoadModule: Bridge Uninitialized.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
