I downloaded the files for cube and the linux clients, and i had to install a decent number of dependancies as well, but i can only go as far as getting this output now

Fatal signal: Floating Point Exception (SDL Parachute Deployed)
hunter@ambassador:~/cube$ Fatal signal: Floating Point Exception (SDL Parachute Deployed)

also, ive got cube.bat chmodded to 777 and all the executables should be executable. Still get that SDL parachute thing, though.

I had similar problems with nwn for awhile until i got my vid card working right, so i know that shouldnt be the problem. Id really love to give cube a try, so any suggestions anyone has, i'll try.

Since Cube uses your system's SDL libraries, you may need to update them.... Since NWN runs with their own, once you solved the problem with the GFX card, the game runs fine.

Im pretty sure my sdl libraries are fully updated. Im looking at a few configuration files right now to see if i cant figure out what the command $gamemode is having a problem with.

bump? i have all my updates installed, i really cant find a solution here, please help, i really want to try this game out.

do you run it by cube.bat or "./cube_unix" command?

You run it with ./cube_unix
