[Solved] Error: Couldn't find any suitable frontend for your system - CowardlyLion - 04-27-2011
I've been running the three Penumbra games without problems since the $5 special offer so I didn't hesitate to buy Amnesia the moment I heard about it. However, it won't install on my computer. I'm running Fedora 14, KDE, proprietary NVidia drivers, RPMFusion enabled but nothing unusual installed, on a 32-bit machine: dual-core 3GHz Pentium 4 with 4GB RAM (3.3G available) and about 450GB disk.
Running the installer results in:
/home/chris/Downloads/amnesia_tdd_1.0.1.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I can't find any reports of exactly this situation, but the most similar suggest checking for a 32-bit libc 6. I am certain that I have that, it's a 32-bit machine and Fedora 14 has libc 6.
file -L /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
I tried running the installer with the --unattended flag to tell it not to bother with any of the front ends, but that also failed.
Wondering whether the archive was somehow damaged (unlikely, given the "verifying integrity" message) I downloaded it from Frictional anew. I get exactly the same result with the new copy.
Any help would be gratefully received!
Many thanks.
Chris R.

Just to follow up my own post for anyone else searching this, the problem was not enough free space in /tmp (had only 1.7GB, installer needed 1.9GB). Telling it to use /var/tmp instead allowed it to install.
TMPDIR=/var/tmp /home/chris/Downloads/amnesia_tdd_1.0.1.sh
