Ubuntu 11.10

Alright, so I've never used any OS related to Linux before. I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 x64 a few days ago and have become quite comfortable with it, for the most part. Now here's my question: how in the hell do you run Graal on Linux?

I'm not able to run it through terminal or wine or anything for that matter. What am I doing wrong?

You probably need to set the file as executable before it will run: chmod +x filename.
There might be a GUI way of doing this in the file properties, but that depends on your desktop environment.

EDIT: Fixed.
Thanks, Skyld. Ends out the GUI form of "allow program to run as executable" doesn't give the program the sufficient rights.
I was missing libSDL_mixer as well, so grabbing that was the last solution.

I was told you should download Graal V5 first and then move V6 into the directory.

I have the Graal beta v6 set as that, but it still seems to do nothing when I attempt to run it, both through a GUI form and a terminal form

How are you running it through terminal? If so, do you get any output?

Fixed that problem, I was running (to what I think) it correctly, using ./Graal in the directory.
Graal works now, but now I have a problem with the RC, I know there are other tutorials on here on how to install it, but I seem to be missing a lib: libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0

I googled it for my version of Ubuntu, but haven't had any luck getting my hand on it.. Is there a way around this or a way to get it easier?

You need to get that version of the sourceview.
Try this in the terminal:

HTML Code:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe'

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview1.0-0

If you are running 64-bit Linux, you might also try using the RC attached to this post which I understand people have had more success with.

Thanks to both of you, worked great. :)
I'll be sure to bother you if I ever stumble upon more issues!

In case you don't want to add an old apt repo to your sources.

Well sir, have you installed the correct libraries? I would double check...

Yeah, I did. I fixed this problem now, and here's how just in case this happens to anyone else and they don't want to spend a full day attempting to figure out wtf is going on:

Open Ubuntu Software Center, install Synaptic [package manager] (can also be done through terminal but I've forgotten the command to do so), since synaptic does not come pre-installed with Ubuntu 11.10. Scroll down on the list of packages and right click the file, then press "Mark for Installation." Hit apply and viola, a whole day of searching broken down into one minute of simplicity.
