Ubuntu + ET

I managed to get ET installed and working on Ubuntu 64Bit BUT when I restarted was corrupt :(. Had to rewrite it don't wonna have to do it for the 5th time. Has anyone got any ideas how to get it work without doing this.

Error:

/root/.setup5458: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1

See http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/ for troubleshooting



My solution

Downloaded:

* libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb

and

* libc6_2.9-4ubuntu6_i386.deb


Installed them in Terminal using

* dpkg -x libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb
* dpkg -x libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb

(error about directory not exist)
or

* dpkg --install libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb
* dpkg --install libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb


Downloading and installing these makes Ubuntu not boot.

I get this error when trying to run the .RUN file using sudo sh ./et.run

Any ideas clever peoples?

why the heck do you need ubuntu to play et?
I don't need it, I was just wanting to develop in Linux.

We dont play with PB anymore, you can cheat as much as you want to !
Parent
I don't cheat and never have lol, I'm talking about application developing. Installing ET is no problem, I was just wondering since I'm a noob to Linux. Need to up my skills for work.
Parent
why the heck did you choose 64bit ubuntu? take 32 bit and problem solved
Reason being I had no choice of install, I didn't get 64Bit or 32Bit choice :(.

I got it working using 32libs. BUT they failededed
Parent
let me guess, u used wubi...
for 32bit you have to run the exe with --32bit parameter
Parent
or download 32bit and paste it to the same folder where wubi is placed :)))
Parent
I burnt the ISO to CDR from their website, it just gave me 64Bit without any choice.
Parent
rofl 64bit ...
failer
u need the 32bit libs
around 200mb afaik
I couldn't find them on Synaptic.
Parent
i play on 64bit linux, so what failure 're you talking about?
Parent
he won't be able to compile eth :------------D

Haven't used 64bit (yet) on nix so can't say how easy it is to do. Just remembered seeing the tutorial on the forums =D
Parent

I find Ubuntu extremely unstable personally, everything was working fine until my drives decided they would not boot due to some unfix-able error. Decided to just go to windows, got 250GB spare though for when i install CentOS after LAN, using it as my primary OS.

I do like windows, before someone criticizes me. However after using it for around 5 years it becomes boring and effortless, i like to warp myself into a new OS to expand my understanding.

Good Night.
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
