GreenMarine on UT for Linux -- 1:38 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Brandon "GreenMarine" Reinhart updated his .plan with information on working around some bugs in the UT Linux client. Here's the low-down:
A few people are reporting that the UT linux installer is telling them "this installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on x86" when it does. You can get around that by either copying the files listed in setup.xml by hand and then opening the tarballs into the UnrealTournament directory, or by calling the X installer directly:

./setup.data/bin/x86/glibc-2.1/setup.gtk

I hope to release a new version of the Linux stuff soon and I'll fix the script that wraps around the installer.

Also, John Drohan points out that the installer needs libglade and libxml installed. I, being the quintessential Linux newbie, thought these were standard. Of course not! Nothing is EASY in Linux. Well, I'll include those libs with the next distribution, which should be coming around soon.

If you have render error messages, delete Default.ini, and UnrealTournament.ini. Then copy LinuxGlideSystem.tar.gz into your UnrealTournament directory and open it. Then run the game again. It appears the permissions are wrong on the original Default.ini, so installing as a non-root user fails to overwrite the file with the glide config. I haven't confirmed this, since I just got back from Thanksgiving and haven't looked into it.
Heh, reading this stuff is giving me flashbacks to the old DOS 2.x days!
