linux_installer.sh is run directly from a brand new (undamaged) copy of the game, or, alternately, from a copy on my hard drive. both, of course, have the same result.
can someone just send me a clean copy of linux_installer.sh?
since this is useless without the game cds, i don't think anyone at id would care. i would really really like to play this game, and while i'm sure there is something wrong with my disc 3 i still would like to try and install this.
Hi my friend,
If you see that others don't come to help you, you yourself go and help yourself by means of this: http://www.google.com/linux
After some searching it says that you should do:
export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
Rerun you installer and see what happens.
Cheers,
i did what you said several days ago, and it started the installer, but apparently i need a "newer" version of gtk (really i need9209 an older one because mine is latest stable).
However, when I was running it today to see which version of GTK I might need, it did the same thing it did a few days ago. I tried the command again, but to no avail. Do you happen to have any idea what happened?
ok double weird... it worked on the fifth time i redid your command, and it's done away with the gtk warning even though i haven't touched gtk in the intervening days....
