Slug, A couple of days I purchased a copy of SuSe 10 from an authorised dealer. I installed SuSe via the DVD, and SuSe was automatically installed as a 64 bit version. Hardware detection was flawless, and everything runs very well.
I tried to install a simple game (www.planetthinktanks.com) via a sh script installed but all I got was an error:- > linux:/home/dllavero # sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin > Verifying archive integrity... All good. > Uncompressing ThinkTanks............................ > This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64 > (tried to run setup.gtk) > > This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64 > (tried to run setup) > > > > The setup program seems to have failed on x86_64/glibc-2.1 > > > Detecting libc... > Binary file /lib/libc.so.6 matches > Detected: os=Linux, arch=x86_64, libc=glibc-2.1 > linux:/home/dllavero # In order to install the game I logged in as a superuser, typed in my details. I then verified, by typing ls, that I was trying to run the game in the right folder, and then typed sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin to run the installer. Frustrated, I re-formatted my hard drive, then re-installed SuSe via 5 CD, which is the 32-bit version. Upon initial installation SuSe indicated that I should install the 64-bit version as opposed to the 32-bit version. I proceed with the installation to find that SuSe was crashing not long after I was trying to use my desktop. I have two desktops, so with my laptop, which I run Windows *cough cough*, I downloaded Kubuntu, which is what I am running on my desktop, and I everything seems to be working fine. I am curious to know why I am getting these errors?? This is a description of the hardware I have:- > I have a Gigabyte Technology P4 Titan Series. Model Name:- GA-8S661FXM-775 > > > Description:- SIS 661FX+964/Micro ATX > P4 Socket775/AGP 8X > 2 DDR400/LAN > 6-CH AUDIO/USB 2.0 > SATA/VGA Integrated > > http://www.giga-byte.com.au/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-8S661FXM-775.htm > > > I have an I have an Intel P4 3.2 GHz processor. Is there a 32-bit emulator that I can install that will allow me to install this game? Or is there a different command line that I can use to install this game?
