I downloaded the ut2004 demo and it is ut2004.run.gz so i know i have to unzip it. But how do i deal with the .run extension? do i have to do ./ut2004.run ?
why not just try it? ./file.run might work, but actually it's more liekly that it won't be set as exectuable already, so chmodding it "chmod +xfile.run" will make it run.
thanks i'll check that out. I got my Unreal Tournament GOTY edition working but it is choppy and im not sure how to enable direct rendering. My computer is older so i got the demo to see if i can get 04 running in linux and how well it runs before i buy it. So if it works i still have to deal with direct rendering.
well i got my UT GOTY edition working. But still can't get the UT 2004 demo working. As i mentioned earlier i get this message.
./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i tried downloading that rpm but when i go to install it says i already have it. i have libstdc++.so.6 - not 5 on my computer. So i have some questions about that.
1. Would that suffice because it is a newer version?
2. Is there a command or something i can do to figure out where the program is looking for libstdc++.so.5?
3. I have the idea of making a link to libstdc++.so.6 but naming the link libstdc++.so.5 so that the program will find "libstdc++.so.5" but it would really be 6. Do you think that would work? Even if it would i'd need to know where the program is looking for it so i know where to put the link.
thanks for any info in advanced.

looks like tricking the computer worked someone what. I made a symbolic link labelled 5 but now i get this message.
./ut2004-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by ./ut2004-bin)
./ut2004-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by ./ut2004-bin)
are those two elements that would be in libst....5 and not libst......6?
