Instructions

Official instructions from the Gameware article:

  1. Download the package from a mirror
  2. Extract the package: tar xvfj dockingstation_195_64.tar.bz2
  3. Go into the folder: cd dockingstation_195_64
  4. Run ./dstation-install
  5. 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:

  1. Download the package
  2. Run linuxgamepublishing_dockingstation.run
  3. 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.

dirname: missing operand

When running dockingstation, you may get the error dirname: missing operand. To fix this, run:

 export DS_BIN="`whereis dockingstation | awk '{print $2}'`"
 sed -i s/11/10/ "`ls -l $DS_BIN | awk '{print $10}'`"

Then run dockingstation as usual.
