Searched the forums and didn't find the following symptom anywhere:

Trying to install DROD AE on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04). Note that a tonne of 32 bit libraries have been installed previously.

$ ./CDROD-1.6.6-setup.sh.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Deadly Rooms Of Death 1.6.6: Architects' Edition.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
./install.sh: 16: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


Here's the end of the debug output:

Have you tried AE 1.6.7 from http://forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php ? That may work better.

As for 1.6.6, the problem is with the install.sh file:

01  #!/bin/sh
02  # DROD install script, by Gerry JJ  <trick@icculus.org>
...
15  # Libraries
16  LIBS=(dummy libgcc_s.so.1 libstdc++.so.5 libfmod-3.73.so libexpat.so.0 \
          libfreetype.so.6 libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0 libSDL-1.2.so.0)

The syntax on line 16 isn't valid 'sh' syntax. On distros where 'sh' is mapped to 'bash', it works fine. But the default for Ubuntu is 'dash', which keeps to the 'sh' syntax more closely:

sh
$ TEST=(a b c)
sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

dash
$ TEST=(a b c)
dash: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

bash
$ TEST=(a b c)
$

So your options if you want to install 1.6.6 are probably to either change what 'sh' refers to temporarily, to edit install.sh (and any other shell scripts) to replace the first line with /bin/bash explicitly, or to edit the scripts and make them actually sh-compatible.

AE 1.6.7 does install fine. but stupid question - how to execute it? i made 'drod-ae' executable and i get this:

$ ./drod-ae
./drod-ae: 16: /home/dust/drod-ae/drod-ae.bin: not found

Did you also make drod-ae.bin executable?

I'm not really in a spot to poke at this right now, but looking through the initial setup bundle, there's a setup.data/setup.xml file that marks both drod-ae and drod-ae.bin as mode 755.
