Shake 4.1 on Ubuntu

IACON · 05-25-2007, 12:38 AM

So I got my pc to be a dual-boot machine. Ubuntu and Windows XP.
I got a cd from a friend for installing Shake 4.1 on Linux. He told me that he runs in on Red-Hat fedora with no problems.

So I tried to run it via:

media/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shkx.exe

but Ubuntu spits out a message saying that there is no application that supports this kind of file. All .exe files from the same directory give the same error report.

Anyone with suggestions ?

Thanks

.exe files are for Windows. Linux doesn't use them. Either your friend gave you the wrong cd or there are also Linux compatible files on the cd (example: .bin, .sh, .tar.gz, .rpm, etc)

Thanks mdg.

I'll give it a try, although I don't remember any files with the ext. that you mentioned. Might be a wrong burn on the CD. But I'll check anway.

Thanks
