Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Installation Problems

[t.z0n3]

I'm a compete newbie to Linux in general, so I'm sorry if this is a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I've downloaded the packages (.run type) for the game and for the 2.6.0 patch (which is in some freaky format so I can't even understand it... there's two files in the Linux folder in there, but neither of them have an extension).

So I tried to do this: I navigated to the correct directory, and typed:

sudo apt-get install et-linux-2.55.x86.run

It says :

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package et-linux-2.55.x86.run

Which doesn't make since, because the ls command (used before and afterword) clearly shows the files there. So does 'find'.

So I'm bamboozled here. I don't understand what I did wrong... can somebody help me?

...Please? I'll make you some brownies! (non laxative of course... ^^)

from the terminal browse to the folder with et-linux-2.55.x86.run

at the terminal type sudo ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run

the ./ tells it to execute this file. It will run you through the installation process.

I would also suggest installing the package libgtk1.2 before you install it, although you dont have to.

You also probably need to make it executable first so while being in the right directory and before running what stangbang suggested, do thischmod a+x et-linux-2.55.x86.run

I just wanted to thank you guys so much. Actually, both of your posts were needed. I got the LibGTK thing, and then I made it executable, and it worked.

*gives you brownies* :D
