hello, I'm a newbie and I want to install this version of supertuxkart supertuxkart-0.6.2a-linuxi486.tar.bz2
Any help will be great.
Thanks!

What distro of Linux are you running? You downloaded the source code.

stked: no, the source is "supertuxkart-0.6.2a-src.tar.bz2". "supertuxkart-0.6.2a-linuxi486.tar.bz2" is the static binary for Linux, I believe

masoko: I do not have the linux binary at hand, but I believe it contains a .sh script to launch the executable (but I'm not sure, I'm not the one who made this package). Depending on your linux distribution, there may be other packages, too

OOPS

I'm using Linux Mint 9

Seems like STK is in the mint repos : http://linuxmint.com/software/?sec=item&id=232
However they don't say which version, hopefully it's the latest one (but seeing the date I sort of doubt so)

But to run the package you downloaded, simply open a terminal, cd into the supertuxkart directory, and run ./run_game.sh (maybe double-clicking run_game.sh will work too, but that's less sure)

this is what I get:
masoko@masoko-desktop ~/Escritorio/Foxdownloads/supertuxkart-0.6.2-linuxi486 $ ./run_game.sh
bin/supertuxkart: error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try :

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

sudo apt-get install libglut3

But I agree with Auria, I think you should install STK with the Mint repository :

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

sudo apt-get install supertuxkart
