Yeah, I try and run DF using my newly-installed Ubuntu 11 OS and it won't work. Other places told me to run it in the terminal. I try and the terminal closes and I get nothing. How do I fix this?

Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? If so, you need to download the 32-bit libraries from the package manager because Dwarf Fortress is 32-bit. I believe there's a package named ia32-libs that will install all of them.

How did you run it through the terminal? Like so?

Code: [Select]

cd /path/to/dwarf/fortress
./df

I downloaded the 32-bit libraries and I still get nothing.

Yes. It just closes when I do that.

Very odd. Check DF's errorlog.txt (in the main DF directory) and see if it says anything. If not, try to redownload DF.

There's no error log.
