I'm pretty new to Linux. I am on Ubuntu 12.04 and want something like the Lazy Newb pack if possible. I really need dwarf therapist as well, but don't see anyway to get it.

Is there anything like  Lazy Newb Pack?

[Fieari]

I use linux, and, no.  There is not.  Generally, linux users are expected to work for their software a little... petty, I know, but true.

Loading tilesets and such is fairly easy (although combining tilesets is less so), and I believe there is a Dwarf Therapist for linux?  (I play adventure, so I'm not positive)

If you REALLY want the LNP, you'd need to virtualbox it... I doubt it would work with wine (requiring memory editing as it does).

You can and should get Dwarf Therapist, you just need to compile it from source. Which also means you need to get the repository software to obtain a clone of the source.

Dwarf Fortress reportedly works under Wine, but the Lazy Noob Pack may not. Dwarf Therapist will work through Wine if DF is run through Wine.

Most utilities included in LNP work under linux, with the most notable exception being Stonesense.

You don't need to compile Therapist from source actually, there's a repository. Add the line "deb http://dwarftherapist.com/apt oneiric universe" to /etc/apt/sources.list, then do a "sudo apt-get install dwarftherapist".

You do have to compile DFHack yourself, I'm pretty sure.

There's a pre-packaged Linux tarball of Dwarf Fortress plus the Phoebus tileset; see the Phoebus tileset thread in the Modding sub-forum.

You can get DT from the repository but you should compile it yourself anyway, the one in the repo is often old and doesn't support the latest version, also I think not all features work. I have read that DF+DT work well under wine, so you can try that.

There is also an unofficial java launcher that reportedly work well under Linux, it will download the latest version and everything for you.

I also had the best experience running the windows versions under WINE.

Not true. They have a linux install.

And yeah, many graphics packs have a pre-installed download, which you can use instead of downloading from the main site and extracting a graphics pack on top of that.

Dwarf Therapist does have a linux build. A few of the other utilities also have linux builds as well, though you will need to check the list on the Lazy Newb Pack thread and then check them individually. Also a few more things such as the graphics packs, aquifers, exotic pets, and pretty much anything in the "options" tab can be done manually with a little bit of extra work, the instructions for most of those things can be either found on the various graphics thread or here in the modding forum.

How do I compile from source? The one on the repo is out of date.

One of the comments there explains the process.

Do you mean this one?

This will build the most recent development version from source and install it using dpkg.

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/
cd dwarftherapist
touch COPYRIGHT
touch README
dpkg-buildpackage
Install any reported missing dependencies (for me only libqt4-dev)
sudo dpkg -i ../dwarftherapist.deb

I got up to the last step but it didn't work. I got this:

neil@neil-K52F:~/dwarftherapist$ sudo dpkg -i ../dwarftherapist.deb
dpkg: error processing ../dwarftherapist.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ../dwarftherapist.deb
neil@neil-K52F:~/dwarftherapist$

No, the other comments. Do `qmake`, `make`, then `sudo make install`. Though creating (via touch) COPYRIGHT and README like that one does isn't a bad idea.
