HIB3 VVVVVV doesn't start on Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit

[Ragnar Homsar]

Hello:

I'm trying to run the Humble Indie Bundle version of VVVVVV on 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04, and after grabing copies of the missing libSDL_mixer and libSDL_image libraries (the default tar.gz didn't have them in the LIB32 folder and trying to start the game would throw up missing library errors), trying to run VVVVVV from the executable text file causes a terminal to flash for a second and then nothing. Running it from the terminal gives me this:

Code Select Expand

Levels will be saved to: /home/peter/.vvvvvv/
The save directory exists at: /home/peter/.vvvvvv/

I've checked data/graphics and all the PNGs it says are missing are there. Neither of the directories for saves or levels are created after the program quits. Running it via sudo does nothing. My account has root priveleges. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Have you tried just running the executable binary?

This crash would happen when the data folder has been moved or the binaries have been run from a different directory.

Also the 32bit libs folder should have SDL image and mixer in?

...I can't believe I tried that when the library errors happened but I never tried it after I fixed that.

It works now. Thanks!

No problem. Have fun.
