Failure to run in Ubuntu
« on: November 02, 2016, 01:49:04 pm »

Hey guys, not entirely sure where to post this question so forgive me if im messing up. Anyway, im running Ubuntu 16.10 x64 and I'm experiencing errors whenever im trying to boot the game. A GUI opens stating "Tileset not found" and i get an incredibly long list of errors seen in the pastebin below.

I've spent about a day trying to work out what i have to do to fix this with no avail, I've tried so many things that i have completely no idea whats wrong anymore and if anything, i've made everything worse.
Anyway, thanks in advance :)

Looks like your GTK libs (and maybe your copy of zlib) are screwed up.

Basically, if I am reading that output right---

The game wants to load some raw bitmap data into memory. It does that by calling the GTK libs, which try to call zlib to unpack the data contained in a png file. This operation fails. Consequently, all operations that need that bitmap data in memory also fail.

Try reinstalling the GTK libs, and zlib.  See if that fixes it.

I think Enay's Linux Lazy Newb Pack has something added to it that fixes this issue.
