Okay. I'm tryignt o install TGE on SuSE 9.3(dunno fit hat matters) and I'm gettign some problems.

first, I run 'chmod 755 ./TorqueGameEngineSDK-1.3.bin' then simply './TorqueGameEngineSDK-1.3.bin'. The setup program runs fine until I get to the accept decline stuff. Once I accept and press next, the program shuts down and my Terminal window says Segmentation Fault. WHat do I do?

Try unset DISPLAY first. If it's just a bug in the GUI component, it won't show when you do that.

Now I want to run the examples. I can easily run them by running "sh runtorque.sh' or './TorqueDemo.bin" but how can I set it up to work by just clicking it? The bin files execute but say they can't find main.cs. You can probably tell I'm new to Linux.

The thing is that the "./" prefix is partially necessary to get Torque to be able to find main.cs. runtorque.sh prefixes torque's path onto the binary when it runs it.

If you want to be able to double click something, the give runtorque execute permissions [chmod +x runtorque.sh], and try double clicking that.

PS No shame in being new to linux at all; it's great that people are trying, in order to bring their games to more platforms!
