I'm running a Slackware9.1 and I tried to install ET unsuccessfully.

I launched the setup with this command: "sh name_of_the_file.run".

Due to memory distribution I chose to install the game in a fat32 partition, the whole path is: "/win-e/etlinux/enemy-territory/".

The setup went pretty good, but when I passed "et" in the command line the result was:
sh-2.05b$ et
sh: /usr/local/bin/et: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I'd like to point that I execute the setup process as root and the error reported above was experienced both as user as like as root.

Can you help me out?

Thank you, guys. ;)

hmmm, what do the permissions look like on that? Here's what line looks like

$ ll /usr/games/bin/et
-rwxr-x--- 1 games games 53 Apr 22 23:20 /usr/games/bin/et

you're probably missing the exacutable on is or maye group permissions

Also, check that
$ groups
wheel audio games users

If that is a fat32 partition, you need to mount it with the exec option to allow you to run executables located on it.

My "user" profile belong to the group called "games" too, yet Enemy Territory is NOT installed in "/usr/games/bin".

I'll try to add the "exec" option in the file fstab.

Thank you, fellas.

I'll be back to tell ya what happened. :)

I modified fstab like this:
/dev/hda5 /win-e vfat auto,users,exec,umask=000 1 0

Then I passed "et" using the terminal and the result was:
sh-2.05b$ et
If you read this, then something failed during the setup
See http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/ for troubleshooting

I have to reinstall? or gotta do something else?
What ya think?
:confused:


P.S. What I have to do in order to uninstall and install again the game?
