Problem with Starting Simutrans (Xandros Linux)

[BananaLee]

Hi there,

I'm running an EEE on the Xandros KDE. I've downloaded the executable and pak and put them into a folder as per the instructions but when I try running it, it tells me "command not found" when I type simutrans on the console (in the simutrans folder, of course).
Double-clicking the simutrans icon brings me to the "open with" window.

Help in this would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like it isn't set as executable...

[BananaLee]

In properties, it says it's an executable for linux. I checked my SDL library versions and they're up to date.

eDIT: I'm a Linux newbie so I don't know how to set something as an exec.

Linux usually does not look for executables in the current directory, so you have to type "./simutrans".

OK. I've tried that and it says permission denied.

sudo ./simutrans causes it to say command not found

Then zou must set executable permission. Safest is "chmod 777 simutrans"

[BananaLee]

./simutrans: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./simutrans)

That's what I'm getting after setting permissions and typing in ./simutrans

[prissi]

Then use the other nightly (there is one with GCC 3.x and one with gcc 4.xx) Or just compile it yourself, most easily under Linux.

Safest is "chmod 777 simutrans"

Uhm, please make that "chmod 755 simutrans", unless Simutrans addiction is also considered to be a danger (then choose "rm -f simutrans").

SCNR.

most easily under Linux.

Linux is only the kernel, the operating system is GNU.
