How to get Tibia (7.1) working?

[coldturkey]

Hello,
I recently moved away from Windows and found Ubuntu! So far this is the best thing ever, it's fast, easy and really good looking :)
I haven't installed anything except some updates but I think it's time for me to install some games!
So, I thought of installing Tibia - An old and fun games to play with your friends - www.tibia.com
I downloaded the 7.1 version to accses my friends OTserver (www.otcommunity.net)
I open the .tgz file and move the tibia folder to my own folder. Now here is the problem:
How do I play this game on Ubuntu/Linux?
Do I need any drivers, programs except the ones that comes with Ubuntu, if so; Which?
What more do I need to think about when playing games on Ubuntu?

As you might av noticed, am new with Linux, I installed Gentoo but it was too difficult.

So, thanks in advance!

PS. There are no .exe (none that i see) files in the folder. Only .spr and so on!

use synaptic to install the tcl and tk libraries. then go to a console go to the directory of tibia and type "./tibiawish" to run the program.

coldturkey@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/coldturkey/tibia
coldturkey@ubuntu:~/tibia$ ./tibiawish
./tibiawish: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
coldturkey@ubuntu:~/tibia$

What am I missing? I installed every tcl and tk script i could find..

EDIT: Ok, i installed a few more updates now. I got to the part where tibiwish booted, but its only blank. A new windows open called tibiawish thats blank, nothing else :/

Actually, I got it to run using ./tibia , not ./tibiawish.

But I also found that the 7.4 windows client works under wine.

./Tibia worked, but when I connected to the server it lagged and i closed it :( Didnt work.. Whats the problem?

Isn't it pretty clear what you are missing? sudo apt-get install libtk or something similar..
