Hi,
I just got my first Linux computer and I'd like to install DROD: Architect's Edition (from forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php ) on it.
I downloaded the Linux file (.run file), ran it, and my terminal looked like
Code:
blatm@Bob:~/Downloads$ sh DRODAESetup-1.6.7.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DROD: Architects' Edition...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
An installation window popped up, I chose a directory for the stuff and a directory for the symbolic links, and now I have a /drod-ae directory.
In it is:
Code:
blatm@Bob:~/drod-ae$ ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 blatm blatm 2813 2011-06-06 19:06 Caravel DROD Licensing Overview.txt
drwxr-xr-x 8 blatm blatm 4096 2011-06-06 19:06 Data
-rwxr-xr-x 1 blatm blatm 355 2011-06-06 19:06 drod-ae
-r--r--r-- 1 blatm blatm 1327 2011-06-06 19:06 drodae.xpm
drwxr-xr-x 2 blatm blatm 4096 2011-06-06 19:06 Libs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 blatm blatm 1285 2011-06-06 19:06 uninstall
I think drod-ae is the relevant executable, though I had to chmod +x drod-ae.
When I try to run it, I get
Code:
blatm@Bob:~/drod-ae$ ./drod-ae
./drod-ae: 16: /home/blatm/drod-ae/drod-ae.bin: not found
I can also try and run it from my folder browser. I get a window asking me "Do you want to run "drod-ae", or display its contents? "drod-ae" is an executable text file." and giving me the options Run in Terminal/Display/Cancel/Run. Neither Run does anything, and Display opens the file in a text editor:
#!/bin/sh
DRODAE_HOME="/home/blatm/drod-ae"
if test "x$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" = "x"; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DRODAE_HOME/Libs"
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DRODAE_HOME/Libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi
DROD_1_6_RES_PATH="$DRODAE_HOME/Data"
DROD_1_6_DAT_PATH="$DRODAE_HOME/Data"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH DROD_1_6_RES_PATH DROD_1_6_DAT_PATH
"$DRODAE_HOME/drod-ae.bin" "$@"
I'm very new to Linux so I don't really know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
I made essentially the same post on the DROD forums: forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=31841 . There's a bit of back and forth there which might help understand the situation better. I don't have enough experience to know what kind of information is helpful, so please just ask for anything I failed to mention.
