Exult & Linux

[kAvatar]

Hi Folks,

I tried to run EXULT on Linux, but I've only received this message yet:

./exult_0.98rc1-1_i386.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token '!'
./exult_0.98rc1-1_i386.deb: line 1: '!'

Does anybody know what to do? Thanks for any usefull answer!

You're trying to run the debian package. You need to install it first. (I never used debian, so I don't know how)

Hmmmm...

stupid question: How to install it?

(Don't beat me, I'm a Linux newbie)

You can install .debs only if you're running Debian or one of its variants.
You install debs as follows (as root):

dpkg -i exult_0.98rc1-1_i386.deb
