The file inside the tar must be made executable by setting the proper permissions on the file (ie execute), open a terminal, cd to where you keep the binary, and then chmod 755 the binary, then it will be executable.

Ok ill give it ago :)

[Davamp]

No it still dosen't execute?

[Davamp]

Is there any coding that i have to run in a Konsole to load it ?

[Froste]

find the location of the download directory, in that make sure you unpack the tarball (tar zxvf rolauncher.tar.gz), then chmod 755 rolauncher, and finally type ./rolauncher

(note, you probably want to make a special regnum directory, and move this file in there, and execute it from there, otherwise everything it downloads will end up wherever you executed it)

[magnet]

The launcher is in a tarball precisely because the tar format keeps UNIX file permissions, thus it is already executable. You just have to extract the launcher to one directory of your liking (e.g, create ~/Regnum/ and extract it there), then "double-click it" in your file manager (Konqueror) like you would do on any OS.

Or just read the sticky post in the Linux forum.

./rolauncher: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open s hared object file: No such file or directory

pclinuxos is a debian derivative right? if so, you can type (as root, or use sudo) apt-get install libexpat1

[Davamp]

Thanks Man ur a genius :P it works :0 thanks you

[Davamp]

Hey im trying to install for my bro and when i try the apt-get install libexpat1 it comes up with an error coundn't find package libexpat1 any help?

[Froste]

Well I don't know how pclinuxos handles repositories, but in debian (which it's based on), there are always 3 repositories, stable, testing, and unstable, it may be that the package changed name from one repository to another, use apt-cache search libexpat, and i'm sure you'll find the correct package, if not, change the repository to one that matches yours ( cat /etc/apt/sources.list )

[arlick]

but first try with:

apt-get update
apt-get install libexpat1

:P
