Instructions
Official instructions from the Gameware article:
- Download the package from a mirror
- Extract the package: tar xvfj dockingstation_195_64.tar.bz2
- Go into the folder: cd dockingstation_195_64
- Run ./dstation-install
- Then run dockingstation nocheck to play the game
Linux Game Publishing Instructions
The file at Linux Game Publishing is a .run file instead of a .tar.bz2 file. So, instead of the instructions above:
- Download the package
- Run linuxgamepublishing_dockingstation.run
- Then run dockingstation nocheck to play the game

Problems
trap: 119: SIGINT: bad trap
When running ./ds_install, you may get the error trap: 119: SIGINT: bad trap. This can mean that either a) you're not root or b) the script couldn't relaunch itself. If you're not root, run sudo ./dstation-install or get the administrator to do it. If the script needed to relaunch, just run it again.
If you're running Ubuntu you have to open a root terminal e.g. "gksudo gnome-terminal" as "sudo su" won't work. You also need to install the package "libgtk1.2".
dirname: missing operand
When running dockingstation, you may get the error dirname: missing operand. To fix this, run the commands, each on a seperate line:
export DS_BIN="`whereis dockingstation | awk '{print $2}'`" sed -i s/11/10/ "`ls -l $DS_BIN | awk '{print $10}'`"
NOTE: You may need to use sudo on the second command, depending on distro and user permissions.
Then run dockingstation as usual.
