Ubuntu 11.10

[devilsknite1]

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.

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:

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.
