Danger From the Deep -- Permissions?

[gjtoth]

I've managed to get it installed ok but, when I go to run it, I get nothing.

Starting it from the terminal produces:

Caught exception: DftD error: Can't open directory /usr/share/games/dangerdeep/objects/airplanes/
Stack trace: (5 frames)
0x8070202 in dangerdeep at ??:0
0x806d431 in dangerdeep at ??:0
0x806d4f1 in dangerdeep at ??:0
0xb7a5b040 in __libc_start_main at ??:0
0x804e6a1 in dangerdeep at ??:0

I'm thinking this may be a permissions problem but, I can't figure how to get around it.

Can anyone give me some insight to this?

I get this message when I try to run it:

dangerdeep: error while loading shared libraries: libfftw3f.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have no idea what the libfftw3f.so.3 library is. Which package did you use to install it?

EDIT - nvm, I figured it out, it needed the fftw3 package from the repositories

I don't have the same problem as you however, the game runs fine. I'll ask again, which package did you use to install it? I used the .bin file from the site.

I just downloaded what they had on their website and let 'er rip.

There are three or four different Linux packages on the site, which one did you use?

I couldn't seem to get the .bin to run so:

dangerdeep_0.3.0.1_i386.deb is the one I used.

That might be the problem, that is the unstable, unmaintained version of the game.

In order to get the .bin to run, you first need to make it executable. I just do that by right-clicking on the file, select permisions, go to the permissions tab and check the box that says "Allow executing this file as a program". Then its just a simple matter of running it like this:

sudo ./dangerdeep-0.3.0-linux-installer.bin

After that, I just had to install the Fast Fourier Transform library and the game runs fine.

Nope. That didn't work. I copied it to my home directory and tried it from there. Nada.

----------- GOT IT! Forgot to change permissions on the file.

Thanks for your help.

Fast Fourier Transform library ??? Where from?

I played this on 64 bit sabayon the other evening - very nice!

From the Ubuntu repositories, just search Synaptic for it, you'll find it.

I will give this game a try. Looks cool.
