I am trying to install DROD:JtrH on Linux. I have downloaded the demo from here.

Now I try to run the .run file, but I get a strange error:

markarts@vhe-430058-laptop:~/DROD$ sh ./DRODJtRHDemoSetup-2.0.14.run 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold Demo Setup...........................[some more dots ]
./DRODJtRHDemoSetup.sh: 268: /home/markarts/.setup7573: not found
markarts@vhe-430058-laptop:~/DROD$ 

I have checked the script but as far as I can tell it looks quite ok. Can someone tell me what is going wrong here please?

I get the same error when running in sudo mode, or when running it from the uncompressed archive instead of directly from the .run file.

EDIT: Maybe useful to add: I'm running a fresh install of 64-bits Ubuntu 6.10 on a x86_64 architecture.

That's odd. I'm running 64-bits Linux myself, so that shouldn't be the problem.. Are you sure the file got downloaded correctly ? (The integrity test only checks the compressed part. What's the md5sum of the .run file ?)

My md5 tool says

dbc8b27d99a8e6ac3208d963ceb386a0

Both the one I downloaded in Linux and the .run I downloaded in windows, just to check

Okay, more testing, and if I run an i686 Linux on my AMD64 it installs just fine

I have emailed support@caravelgames.com to request a full version of the game (I have my windows version from when I bought it but I can't seem to find a link to the full versions anywhere), so maybe that will work, but it's still strange of course.

Links to the full version downloads are at the bottom of the page you got the demo from.

Yes I read that more but I seriously can't find them. It's all demos and patches

DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold Demo v2.0.14 (Linux, x86)
DROD: King Dugan's Dungeon Demo v2.0.14 (Linux, x86)
DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold 2.0.14.1 Patch (Windows)
DROD: King Dugan's Dungeon 2.0.14.1 Patch (Windows) 
DROD JtRH/KDD Full/Demo 2.0.14.1 ExePatch (Linux, x86)
DROD: King Dugan's Dungeon 'Neather Repair Patch (Windows)
DROD: Journey To Rooted Hold Demo (Windows)
DROD: Architects' Edition 
DROD: Architects' Edition (Linux, x86)
DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold 2.0.9 Patch (Linux)
French Language Help Files for DROD 2.0.
German Language Help Files for DROD 2.0.

This is the list of links I have, and then there's one to "holds" I have a CaravelNet subscription, and I am logged in to the forums with a cookie. In my profile, under "Purchases" I can see all SmS's, but nowhere is there a link to the full version of JtRH itself.

In another thread Erik advised someone with the same problem to send an email so that's what I did

That's strange - I get another section called "CaravelNet Download" on http://forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php which lists full downloads for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, with an extra "available only to registered JtRH CaravelNet users." tacked on at the end.

Can't say why you don't seem to get those, though.

np: Jah Wobble & Deep Space - Liquid (Largely Live In Hartlepool And Manchester (Disc 2))

Is it maybe, because I bought the CaravelNet subscription seperately from JtRH itself? Dunno if that makes sense, but I remember doing that
Anyway, my subscription was just renewed and lasts until 20-12-2007 so that can't be the problem

When you bought JtRH, you should have gotten an email with a link to enable a one-month trial version of CaravelNet. You need to use that link to associate your order with "piderman" so that the forum knows you've purchased JtRH, and will thus let you download the full version.

If you don't have that link or never got it or something, let me know and I can send it to you.

Edit: Never mind, I just PM'd the link to you - I can see you never activated it.

Ah thanks Schik! That was the problem. Since I bought a one-year subscription straight away, I never used the one-month trial. Now I added it to my subscription just now and I can see the downloads. It's a strange bug, but it's resolved now

Back on topic, the install script doesn't work for the full installer either on x86_64

EDIT: Well it's kinda resolved. The install problems were fixed by installing the linux32 and ia32 packages. Now for getting it to run... I really should just install a 32-bit linux. The world isn't ready for 64 bit

Hm, okay. I'm happy you figured out the installation problem, but it doesn't run now ? What happens when you try to run it ?

Nonsense . If DROD has problems working on a 64-bit setup (with 32-bit emulation installed, obviously), that's a bug. You'll just have to beat me with a stick a few times, and I'll hopefully end up fixing it somehow.

Do you have something monkey-like that we can poke?

It now says something like: "problem loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot find the file"
I do have the thing there in /usr/lib though.

Well the thing is I know a little about linux, but not much more. So I am not always sure whether it's a fault in my linux installation or with the program I'm trying to run
So when it runs on 32-bit without any problems, I will sometimes take the 'easy' road. But if you have any ideas regarding the problem I would be glad to hear them

Actually it's my fault. I was a bit careless when building the SDL library for 2.0.14, so it requires ALSA in stead of merely supporting it. It'll be fixed for 2.0.15, but in the mean time, you can either install 32-bit versions of the ALSA libraries (if you use ALSA), or download the attached SDL library, delete the libSDL-1.2.so files in Libs where you installed DROD, and put this one there in stead. That should fix it!

Well, penguins, obviously. Or, well, I don't actually have any penguins, but they're with me in spirit. I do have a toy hedgehog thing, though. It's very soft and pokable. (I also got a kitten made of glass for christmas for some reason, but I don't want people poking that.)
