ZSNES installation on Ubuntu 10.10 amd64

[BlacqWolf]

Hello,

I would like to install ZSNES in Ubuntu 10.10 x64, however I cannot get it to run.

The one from the repository says it is not compatible with because I am running the wrong architecture operating system, and I do not wish to go back to Ubuntu x86.

I tried the version from the ZSNES website. I couldn't figure out how to run it though, as it did not want to run. I tried the ZSNES.desktop, but it wouldn't do anything either. I tried running ZSNES.desktop in terminal, but it told me that it was the wrong architecture as well.

Any help would be much appreciated

you should run zsnes from a terminal an see what error you get...

I just tried a debpackage from this site, but I get a segmentation fault when runnging zsnes: https://rohieb.wordpress.com/2010/10...-amd64-ubuntu/

I tried running ZSNES in terminal any way I know. It told me I was running the wrong architecture.

The text from the terminal is as follows:

/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/linux/zsnes.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/linux/zsnes.desktop: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/linux/zsnes.desktop: line 5: `Comment=SNES (Super Nintendo) emulator that uses x86 assembly'

When I open ZSNES.desktop directly through nautilus, I get:

Details: Failed to execute child process "zsnes" (No such file or directory)

At the Desktop Properties window, I could see it was trying to run with command 'zsnes' as if it was installed just like any other application (I don't know if that would qualify as 'installed,' but the way you install an app like .deb or through software center). However, I do not know what file to change the command to, as I am fairly new to Linux.

I do know that .sh are a type of executable file (I think), but every .sh (autogen.sh, install-sh) would not run. 'autogen' would run briefly, creating more files in the zsnes_1_51/src directory, I believe. However, I tried to run it again so I could paste the text here from the terminal, and all I got was

/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/autogen.sh: 6: sdl-config: not found
/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/autogen.sh: 6: aclocal: not found
/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/autogen.sh: 7: autoconf: not found
/home/benjamin/zsnes_1_51/src/autogen.sh: 17: ./configure: not found


I tried installing the .deb from your link, and I got

Dependency is not satisfiable: libao2 (>= 0.8.8)

but I cannot find it in the repos.

I ran configure.sh in terminal, I got

So I think I know what we have to do here. (At least I hope I do.)

I tried configure.sh after installing NASM. This is the text from the terminal:

configure: error: SDL >= 1.2.0 is required

And I could not find SDL anywhere. The only thing I could find is sdlbasic, which evidently did not work.
