The Linux version of Overgrowth has different dependencies which need to be fulfilled otherwise the game won't run. Those dependencies can vary from distribution to distribution, so it would be a good thing to write them down.

Installer

The Linux installer is a Bash script which loads a graphical installer. The shebang points to /bin/sh, but it will not work with every shell.

# readlink -f /bin/sh
/bin/bash

If the installer won't load and /bin/sh doesn't point to bash try to force using bash.

Distributions

Debian

This also includes Ubuntu, Mint etc.

Libraries

# apt-get install libalut0

Gentoo

Libraries

Overgrowth needs different libraries in order to work. This list might not be complete.

# emerge -av media-libs/freeimage
# emerge -av media-libs/freealut
# emerge -av media-libs/libpng:1.2

Groups

If your user is not already in this groups you have to add him. Otherwise the game may not start and it is even possible that X will completely crash.

# gpasswd -a your_user audio
# gpasswd -a your_user video

SUMLauncher

SUMLauncher does not work with dev-java/sun-jdk, you will need dev-java/icedtea-bin to use it.

# emerge -av dev-java/icedtea-bin
# eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
  [1]   icedtea-bin-6 
  [2]   sun-jre-bin-1.6  system-vm
# eselect java-vm user set 1
