What is the exact name of the game? Open a terminal and post the output of this command.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

ls -la ~/Desktop

I have the same issues, too. People usually have dependency issues.

You can tell when you launch Racer from a terminal when installed.

You have to install FMOD from http://www.fmod.org for Racer to run. After, you just need to navigate to Racer's directory and run


./racer

Any more questions try the unnoficial FAQ (http://www.schuerkamp.de/zope/hoover/racing/racer_linux_faq) by Uwe Schuerkamp (it's old, but it could help solve some stuff). Ah, make sure you have latest beta, not stable, beta is in a more advance state.

@ fingerrish:

./configure
make
make install

Could you be a little more specific as to what you did to make it work, what files you copied and to where? I am getting the same error trying to run this game. Thanks!
