Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 6.06, with Uplink 1.55. (I think) I have installed uplink correctly - i copied the zip file off the cd, unzipped it into a folder called "uplink" in my home directory, then got the patch and extracted all those files into the same folder. I then start a terminal and run the uplink script, and it spits out this... I had a look around but I only came across one similar problem, and the answer there didn' t help...
Here the console output:

alex@alexlaptop:~$ cd uplink
alex@alexlaptop:~/uplink$ ./uplink

No log file is created, so i can't post that. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Dunno, no ~/.uplink/ directory?

Try running Uplink under strace?

Files integrity is not verified

You are probably missing some .dat files or less possibly some .dat files are corrupted.

Put all .dat files in the lib/ uplink subdirectory.

data.dat
fonts.dat
graphics.dat
loading.dat
music.dat
patch3.dat
patch2.dat
patch.dat
sounds.dat
world.dat

I had a similar problem with Uplink, I tried running under strace, but i still did not get a debug.log created, and still no Uplink.

Is there anything printed on the console?
