There is an older thread (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=76353) on this issue. The solution is to have someone send you rolauncher so that it downloads everything for you.

Unfortunately the newest 64-bit version is 2.9MB so I can't really post it here. :p

I think the actual problem is caused by missing lib32 libraries, but the easier solution is above!
This is the problem I think. It can be solved by installing the 32-bit libraries for your distribution. For example, for me (on Debian), it would be ia32-libs.

Here is a download for the latest 64 bit rolauncher (dl.dropbox.com/u/125734/rolauncher.gz). It should download all the files needed to run the game.

thx a lot, thread solved

Awrath, you're a lifesaver! Just running rolauncher wouldn't download the data files for me, though. I had to install the Windows version in WINE and copy the data files into my Linux install. But thanks to you, I'm finally in the game!

Tip for the devs: forget the stupid installer! InstallJammer is total crap. Searching for the error messages your installer threw, I found a bunch of other software using IJ and suffering the same install issues as RO. More importantly, there is no reason for Linux software to ever use installers! Either distribute Linux binaries in distro-specific packages (.deb, .rpm, etc.) or better yet just give us a tarball.
