Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu and have installed Version 8.10 (ibex) on my very old Laptop. I wanted to install creatures internet edition but it failed and I don't know what to do now. This is for troubleshooting:

1st I downloaded the package "dockingstation.run"

2nd I activated it with sh dockingstation.run It failed for the first time saying:

Updating linux_x86_glibc21 to latest version

Getting files from ports/linux_x86_glibc21_64/ to /usr/local/games/dockingstation Finished linux_x86_glibc21 update Relaunching new version of script trap: 119: SIGINT: bad trap


3rd I had to set a password for root (as it is not set by default) to change to SU

4th I installed it again using sh dockingstation.run

5th it failed again and said:

Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Creatures: Docking Station. ./dstation-install: line 83: type: creatures3: not found

Docking Station InstallBlast


Installing off filesystem /tmp/selfgz9613/.

Hello , try : sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

Hello, libgtk is up to date now but it now says: ./dstation-install: line 83: type: creatures3: not found

Docking Station InstallBlast


To download and run the game, simply run this script in an X terminal with no parameters. You will be prompted for the root password if necessary, so run the script as an ordinary user.

When the download is complete the game will automatically launch. Next time, type 'dockingstation' to check for updates and launch the game.

Parameters are:

 lang - Change the language that you play the game in
 cleanse - Forces a rescan of files to fix broken builds
 nocheck - Do not automatically check for game updates
 nolaunch - Do not launch the game when finished
 uninstall - Uninstalls the game

Environment variables are:

 INSTALL_DEST - Directory to install game in
 BIN_DEST - Directory to install executable link in
 C3_MAIN - Where Creatures 3 is (use if autodetect fails)

Note: After setting INSTALL_DEST and BIN_DEST for the initial install you shouldn't need to set them again. You should launch the game by typing $BIN_DEST/dockingstation or putting $BIN_DEST on the path and typing dockingstation. The script will find INSTALL_DEST automatically.

Have fun!

It won't start if I type "dockingstation" ... I've got no idea what happened.
