How to install a racing game torcs from a package

[Taras]

Basically how can i install this game from a package, i have already extracted the files, in my screen print you can see it.

Can anyone please guide me through the terminal or give me the commands in turns so that i can make a easy install thank you

That looks like you're trying to compile the source code. This version of TORCS is in the repositories, simply do:

sudo apt-get install torcs

If you really want to compile what you have there, you need to cd to the torcs-1.3.0 directory and run these three commands one after the other:


./configure
make
sudo make install


The configure command might throw errors of missing dependencies, and you will need to install what it asks you to install.

Using the repositories is much easier though, I only compile if there is a newer version I want that isn't in the repos.

Aye, it's in the synaptic package manager.

Here's a guide (should also work with 32-bit), if you want to compile it: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:torcs
