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.
Contents
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
