Is this some kind of stress test?

Did you install libsdl-ttf1.2-dev?

Can't find libsdl-ttf1.2-dev in the repositories...

Package libsdl-ttf1.2-dev 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 libsdl-ttf1.2-dev has no installation candidate

eh? that's wierd. Here is the download link for Linux on the SDL website: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release/SDL_ttf-2.0.9-1.i386.rpm

Wierd? It gets wierder... Shocked

I DLL'd the file you suggested and it won't run on my architecture AMD64. so I nanod the /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommented all repositories hoping to score a result but still nothing. Maybe my egoboo is cursed?

Hmm, it states it should work on any platform supporting SDL. Which Linux does.

Scatch that, my architecture is i686, it definitely doesn't work. It says wrong architecture.

I think I have it... Synaptic found libsdl-ttf2.0-dev so I have installed this. Newer version. Mad

Do you think it will work?

YES! It worked it did. Very Happy

Now... next step.

It says Specific Install Steps for egoboo-data-2.7.5
What's this mean?

Hmm, you did download the egobo-data package? Containing all the modules, sounds, music, etc.

Don't worry! I have worked it out, and egoboo is now working... THANKS GUYS, you ought to be proud of your code wrangling abilities. One thing, libsdl-ttf2.0-dev instead of 1.2-dev on your list.
Good work! (happy mundi)

Great!

It's done btw.

bad news..
It ran once, but I closed it to give you the good news and now all I get is:

jarramundi@Jarramundi:~$ egoboo
jarramundi@Jarramundi:~$

and nothing happens.... Crying or Very sad

Yeah so it turns out I have to be root. which doesn't seem right, but it don't matter to me as long as I can play.
Thanks again guys. Sorry for the double posts or whatever, still fairly new to all this stuff Smile

Note by Clonkinator: please stop double-posting. It's annoying.

oops, I meant libsdl-ttf2.0-dev. Not libsdl-ttf1.2-dev.
Edit: I wouldn't think you have to be root to play it. It makes no sense. Zefz, is there anything in the Linux files that write to /usr/share/egoboo?

Hmm. Only files Egoboo writes are temp files in the import folder. New saved players in the Players folder and log.txt in the main folder.

Yeah, I have this problem with xubuntu, and maybe someone can help me with this, is that I can't write to any files in my file sytem i.e /etc or /usr unless I am root and I do it in the terminal.. I suspect it has something to do with this.. Is there some way around this?
When I am using Gnome to surf around my File System in a window, I don't have permissions to change anything.
