Elias_Maluco:
Hi all. Im trying to run this game on Suse 10.0 64bits. Excuse me if Im doing something stupid here, Im a li9nux newbie.

So, I donwloaded the linux installer, runned it and it did installed the game, altough I got this error message during the installation:


--- Quote ---
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkEntry'

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 534 (gtk_entry_get_text): assertion `entry != NULL' failed.

--- End quote ---


After installing, Ive tried to run it and got this error:

So, what can be the problem? Ive trying googling it and got no results. Also can find any info about that "libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0" library.

I have a 7600GT with latest drivers properly installed. Maybe is becouse Im trying to run it on a 64 bits system? Should I give up on the installer and try to compile the game from the source?

Any help will be much apreciated. Being an old fan of X-COM series, Im really looking forward to play this game. So please help me here!

Bandobras:
For the sound, if there will be any problems try changing it to sdl  (in the Options menu) and changin the sampling rate.

For video you can try

  ./ufo +set vid_ref sdl

but probably the lack of  libSDL_ttf is to blame. Just install it. :)

BTW, does quake2 run on your machine?

Well, never tried it. I will try insatlling this lib, thanks for your help.

Elias_Maluco:
Ok, just installed "libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0", compiled from source. However, Im still getting the same error. Any more ideas? Maybe I found a bug?

Elias_Maluco:
Oh, forget about it. I will just install the windows version. This will be just another entry in my forever growing list of software I cat get  to work in linux. Just has a side note: is silly to think that linux will ever be popular as a desktop OS when is so fucking hard to get anything working on it.

Sometimes I love linux, sometimes I just wish I could install a program and get it working in less then 5 hours and 50 different errors(if I can get it to work at all, of course).
