Thanks. Download right now. It's a source tarball, so most likely it'll be a make; make install ordeal.

Let me check that first!

nope -- it's a binary release.... Here we go:

1. Move cube to /opt: sudo mv ~/cube /opt
2. Edit /opt/cube/cube_unix.
Line 2: CUBE_DIR=/opt/cube
3. Link over: sudo ln -s /opt/cube/cube_unix /usr/local/bin/cube
4. Execute: cube

Enjoy!
P.S. it really looks cool! testing right now!

for cube i think youll also need the lib sdl
which can be installed from apt

jdong, I downloaded and extracted Cube to /home/franx and then followed your directions, but when I typed in "cube" to launch, I got this:

franx@ubuntu:~ $ cube
/opt/cube/bin_unix/ppc_linux_client: error while loading shared
libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
franx@ubuntu:~ $

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 ought to do the trick.

What the heck is cube?

Man, I was about to post a witty "hey, why not apt-get search for it" then did it myself. No Cube! I must have been thinking back to my Gentoo days, where an emerge -s would have given me the info. Huh.

hung squirrel, did as you suggested. now I get this:

franx@ubuntu:~ $ cube
/opt/cube/bin_unix/ppc_linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Sorry to be a pest, but I've played this game in OSX and it's quite good. Would really love to run it under Ubuntu.
