Status Update: Linux and Mac ports

[the Mage]

The linux demo mentioned in previous threads, now works well on Ubuntu 6.10 systems I'm pleased to say.

Thanks to the folks who've put in the effort to get things this far.

I'm definitely going to grab a copy when it goes gold.

Cheers.

What, may I ask, did you do to get it running under Ubuntu 6.10?

Simply made sure that all packages were updated correctly(synaptic), downloaded the torrent, installed and ran.

Given that I did not experience any problems, I thought perhaps you had tweaked the install somewhat.

Obviously this is not the case. My install of Ubuntu 6.10 is not standard however, there are a large number of packages that I remove, as I don't use them.

There are also a number of packages that I add, as I prefer certain applications over the 'Gnome' default options.

I'm clutching at straws here but as I have working installs of Wolfenstein Enemy Territory & True Combat Elite, perhaps there is a package I've installed that is also needed for Penumbra to run.

I'm more than willing to do some research to help out, you'll need to give me some direction on what to look for as I'm no guru when it comes to the command line.

Cheers.
