Gaming on Linux

[ABnSW]

I used to play a MMORPG called Tibia when I ran windows. I procured a Mac Laptop. An iBook G4 14". There's no way to play Tibia on a mac. Recently I was trying to modify my Tiger to look like Leopard with Liger. For some reason it screwed up my OS X and my install disk is thrashed. I am currently running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 since that's the only OS I can install right now. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to run Tibia on an iBook G4 running Ubuntu. There is a Linux version of Tibia, but I just can't get it to run. Can anyone help me with this?

I used to play that game too and I hear that the linux version of tibia is not up-to-date w/ the latest kernel.

If it's non-free, then I doubt it'll work, because the G4's are PowerPC and binary packages are usually for x86.

No.

Try giving us an error message or the exact problem you found, whether you tried to compile from source, or install a binary, or what.

You're being too vague.

I'm fairly sure I've installed it correctly, It's just that every time I try to run the .bin file in terminal it says it cannot run that executable file.

What he said. You need a PPC binary, or the source to compile from.

*facepalm*

Mark it executable with the command

chmod +x <filename>

chmod, "change mode", changes the mode of the file, +x adds executable privileges to everyone, and <filename> should be replaced by the file's name.
