Ubuntu

Problems installing using Wine.

Asked by Kyle100101

Okay so I just downloaded this game called Civ 3, I extracted the files and opened up the install bit with the wine programme but the install button had been greyed out so I am unable to click it.

Any way to get around this?

Not to solve your question but to give you an alternative way, have you already tried freeciv it's is a Civ 3 clone.
To install it

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freeciv

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

Oh wow, I did not know that there was a clone, are there many clones? If so how do I find them?

Ok I tried that but I got this error. It seems Ubuntu has allot of errors.

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

You can choose between the gtk and the sdl version.

Run

sudo apt-get install freeciv-client-sdl 2.1.3-1~gutsy1

or

sudo apt-get install freeciv-client-gtk 2.1.3-1~gutsy1

Hope this helps.

kyle100101@kyle100101-laptop:~$ freeciv-client-sdl 2.1.3-1~gutsy1
bash: freeciv-client-sdl: command not found

So I tried the other one.

E: Couldn't find package 2.1.3-1~gutsy1
kyle100101@kyle100101-laptop:~$

I went into the package manager, installed the GTK one, and I got this error,

E: msttcorefonts: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I have made a topic bout it and have yet to actually fix it, Though, many have tried.
