The solution is to change '\0' to ""
in
torcs-1.3.7src/libs/musicplayer/OpenALMusicPlayer.cpp
then compile.
Hopefully the next version of torcs will have this fixed.

Don't install the torcs source code into /usr/src
Don't compile as root.
Don't install torcs binary into the system.
(no need for root privileges)
Do use your home directory eg. /home/user/torcs-1.3.7
Furthermore, you should install the application to your home directory,
that way you can develop, compile, install and execute torcs in your
home directory. See TorcsNotes.txt

I hope that some day OpenALMusicPlayer and its dependencies
could be avoided with a compile switch.

Sincerely, David
