Tonight I have bought the Linux version of TT for a friend. He is running SUSE Professional 9.1 as his operating system.

He saved TT in his Documents folder, and followed the following instructions as per garagegames website.

 

 

Problem is that the following error is displayed

 

 

Is there anyway someone could help with this situation?

Thanks,
SK

 

Those instructions should work. There's probably just some little thing you're not doing right. Linux can be a little unforgiving. I'm no expert, but hopefully I can help you get it sorted out.

Things to check include:

1. Be sure he's typing the 'sh' at the beginning of the command. (Don't type the quotes around that, or anything else.) Also, case (capital and non-capital letters) count. The whole command and filename have to be typed exactly.

2. Be sure he's in the right working directory. If he types 'ls' at the command prompt, the ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin file should be among the files listed. If it isn't, he can type 'pwd' to see what directory he's really in. Typing 'cd', a space, then the proper path, as in '/home/username/Documents/' (with 'username' being his username) or whatever, to wherever the file really is, will change the working directory to the right location.

There's also a quicker way to get there. In KDE, which is the default desktop environment on Suse, there's an option in the file manager (Konqueror) to open a terminal in the directory that's currently being displayed. I think it's under "tools" or something like that. I use Gnome rather than KDE so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

The point is, anyway, that you have to have a terminal open to the directory where the file is located for the 'sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin' command to work.

As far as the download issue goes, my file, which works, is 14733372 bytes (14.1 MB). You can check this by typing "ls -l" in the terminal when you're in the directory where the file is located.

Give that a try and let me know. I'll check back here later in the day.

I just installed Slackware Linux on my machine last week & although it's taken some time to figure some things out, the TT installation went quite well. As Monkey stated & I have found out for myself, directories & files are case sensitive. One little shortcut when you do get to the right directory for TT is to hit "tab" after typing the first couple of characters in the filename. This will autofill the rest of the of the filename & helps avoid entry errors. I did get TT up and running, although I still need to figure out how to set up my SoundBlaster Live card to work, as I have no sound :(

Cool to see some Linux users here. I'm using Slackware 10 with the Gnome desktop. Lots of fun trying to figure things out, although I've spent a ton of time online looking for info on getting things set up...

Good luck!

I had Linux which names was knopox or someting similar to that. Used it like 1 minute, I didn't download it but the shortcuts images on desktop didnt look bad.
