The game does not work on Debian (SID, AMD64) FIXED

[moritzmh]

Can anyone of you help me? I already bought the license and would like to play...

./defcon
bash: ./defcon: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Keine Berechtigung

"Keine Berechtigung" means "access denied". That's very odd, can you do a "ls -l /bin/sh"?

For the rest, do you have the 32 bit compatibility stuff installed? Defcon is a 32 bit executable and needs it.

Hi
Thanks for the fast reply.

I do not know what the problem is and consider myself to be an experienced Linux user for nearly 10 years.
I have ia32libs and ia32libs-gtk installed.
/bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash, which is evidently executable.

Anything else I can try?

[bert_the_turtle]

I'm clueless, too. You have unpacked the tarball to a file system that supports the executable flag, right? Not your Windows partition? Maybe there is file corruption at work, I'm not sure how 64 bit ldd is supposed to behave with 32 bit binaries, but I definitely get some useful output when I let it lose on the .bin.x86. I don't have a 64 bit system nearby, though.

Perhaps do a checksum? I get

Code: Select all

$ md5sum lib/defcon.bin.x86
a89ecb69f59246a81e4e4ac2e20a9e44  lib/defcon.bin.x86

I had this once on amd64 feisty fawn, after making sure 32bit compatibility and reboot it worked.

[moritzmh]

OK, apparently after a new installation my home directory has been mounted without exec privileges. Weird. Remounting with exec solved the problem.

The game works flawlessly on Debian Sid (Sidux actually) amd64. Nice game.
