Hello all!

I'm a fairly new user to Ubuntu, and though it is currently just a temporary solution for a crashed Windows drive, I want to learn as much about it as I can while I have it.

Thus far, I know a number of fairly basic commands; sudo, gedit, cd, ls, but not much beyond that.

I've been attempting to install the demo to a game called Darwinia for some time now, but when I attempt to extract the .sh archive downloaded from the company site, I'm given this message.


root@Molly:~/Downloads# ./darwinia-demo2-1.3.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Darwinia demo2 1.3.0............................................. ..........................
/home/wordweaver/.setup6782: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've gone through a number of threads where users have encountered similar problems, and in almost all cases, they were resolved by using apt-get to locate the file under an abbreviated name; libgtk1.2. However, when I attempt this, I get the following.



root@Molly:~/Downloads# sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libgtk1.2I've also tried using a custom script that is used with the command 'getlibs', and it returns with this.


root@Molly:~/Downloads# getlibs libgtk-1.2.so.0
libgtk-1.2.so.0: libgtk1.2

Package libgtk1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgtk1.2 has no installation candidateThis would imply that there is a newer version of this file somewhere, but if there is a way to locate it easily, I haven't encountered it yet. Any suggestions are plenty welcome.

Thanks for your time :D
