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.

Gentoo

Libraries

# emerge -av media-libs/libpng:1.2

# eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
