DR in Ubuntu 14.04

[MKG]

Try as I might, I cannot set up my software sources (Linux Mint 17 aka Ubuntu 14.04) to successfully get hold of Dark Radiant. I've had DR before and run it with no problems under earlier Ubuntu versions.

 

Synaptic Package Manager tells me that there are dependencies which cannot be satisfied (libcurl etc). Fine, but I haven't the faintest idea what I'm supposed to do about that.

 

Is it me, or is it not possible at the moment for me to run Dark Radiant? (It does appear to be the case that the latest DR version was issued with Ubuntu 13.04 in mind).

 

Any help out there?

But if you run darkradiant under WINE?

Ah - that certainly hadn't occurred to me.

 

Thanks, Freyk - I'll give that a go.

Nope - no luck, I'm afraid. It installs and I can tell it where the data is, but then it decides that it's suffered a major hiccup.

 

This is a totally fresh operating system install - I can't see that either the Linux or Windows version is going to work for me. Shame - the world is going to have to wait for my super-duper FM.

 

Thanks for trying, though.

You're right, there isn't a build for 14.04 yet. I am running 14.04 myself however, so it won't be difficult for me to upload the latest version into the PPA.

That would be a godsend, OrbWeaver. Thanks.

It's there and working ....

 

Thank you very much, Sir!!!!!!!!!
