How do you install SDL, SDL_net, and SDL_mixer after obtaining the .rpm packages? I can't edit anything below the Home Folder and my many attempts to use Terminal have, not surprisingly, failed.
EDIT: I installed WINE not long ago, and I'm not sure how to install .dlls onto the virtual drive...
P.S. I only come here for help because A) Someone around here must know a thing or two about Ubuntu and B) the Internet has proven useless in these special cases.

www.canonical.com's forums cannot help you at all?

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
Have you tried the "synaptic package manager"?

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
1) SDL is under the synaptic package manager/software center under libsdl-*
2) Wine's C:\ is by default in .wine/drive_c (there is a menu item that also takes you there under Applications -> Wine)
3, AoD) it's ubuntuforums.org

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
1. Synaptic didn't come with Ubuntu, but I'll see if I can grab it on the Software Whatever.
2. Oh. Great.
3. Canonical doesn't seem to be the Ubuntu homepage...
Thanks, by the way.

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
Check out the link in my previous post before you go any farther. If you have Ubuntu, you have synaptic.

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
actually, Canonical doesn't ship Synaptic in Ubuntu by default anymore, it's been replaced with the Ubuntu Software Center

Re: Maxaxle Battles With Ubuntu Over Simple Matters
So, if you are using Ubuntu > 11.10 ("Maveric Meerkat") then synaptic is not loaded by default.
If you want to develop anything, you are going to have to get synaptic or learn to use apt from the command line, because the Ubuntu SoftwareCenter will not contain anything but end-user content approved by Canonical.

Which isn't very much. But I'll try to get Synaptic...bgbirdsey wrote:line, because the Ubuntu SoftwareCenter will not contain anything but end-user content approved by Canonical.
EDIT: Tried "sudo apt-get install synaptic" and it told me that Synaptic was up-to-date. What. And for future reference, I'm using 11.04 (afaik).
EDIT 2: Installed all of the stuff necessary for Egoboo to run. Now I just need to compile the source (I think).
