Please help me before I thow my computer out the window

[thardy01]

Sorry for the dramatic Subject line but im literally pulling the hair out of my head. Ok heres the deal my wife love playing slot games so we have bought "Reel Deal Slots" which works great in windows problem is we dont use windows anymore. Well since Ive managed to get all my favorite games working in linux I thought I'd give installing the wifes a shot. So I installed winex then mounted the reel deal cd. Wow low and behold it actually has a linux install on it to (I didnt know this till now). So I decide to install it with that but the problem is it kept erroring out telling me that:
./setup-linux.sh: tar failed. Please make sure gzip is installed as is in your path: command not found

well obviously gzip is installed and is in /bin but I made a link to it in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin started the install again and this time it came up with the error:

./setup-linux.sh: tar failed. Please make sure tar is installed as is in your path: command not found

Again this is installen and in /bin but I linked in the same places as gzip but it still cant find it. I know I'm probaly missing something simple so I anyone can give me a clue as what to try I'd really appreciate it and so would my wife. Thanks in advance.

By the way in case you were wondering I allso tried to install it with winex ane the install went great but it wont start it.......but it dosent come back with any error messages. Id rather get it working with out wine but hey beggers cant be choosers..so help either way is appreciated.

• What is your PATH when you try to run the installer? "echo $PATH" should tell you this.
  
• Does setup-linux.sh have any useful comments in it?
  
• Does setup-linux.sh look like it changes the PATH?
  
• What is the exact line setup-linux.sh uses to call tar?

Ok Ive managed to get it installed. I ended up copying the cd to my harddrive then linking /bin/tar and /bin/gzip to the install directory that I copied the cd to. Although Im sure there was an easier way...........
Any how I now have new problem. The first time I ran it it worked great but evertime after that I get the error:

timscomp rdslots # /usr/local/rdslots/bin/rdslots
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

Now since It worked once I cant help but to assume that I have everything installed that it needs to run. And I do have sdl installed so can someone give me an ideal at what I need to be looking at or atleast maybe a way to get it to print a more detailed error message so maybe I can track the problem down.
Thanks again for your help.

The first tool I would try is strace.

[thardy01]

Ive did as you said but im afraid im still very new to linux and the output is way over my head Im gonna post the resulte here in the hopes that someone might be able/willing to decipher the results for me.

Thanks again for the help.

In the future, putting stuff like that in code blocks makes it a bit more readable. In any case, this line:

[thardy01]

It is in the parent directory any other thoughts? Strangely I just had it running a minute ago but after I closed it it wouldnt restart....same error as before even after rebooting. Cant figure whats going on but thats 2 times now that I've had it running. So I know it can work........

I've seen SDL parachutes before when I've changed the graphics/sound settings on a program - can't remember exactly what it was at the moment though.

Try renaming or emptying the config.ini file (make a backup first!) and see if that helps.
You could also try a 'virgin' config.ini from a clean install and compare it to your own copy to see if any differences are causing the crashes.

[line72]

sdl parachute is just what sdl calls a segfault. It might be a problem with the version number of sdl. Real Deal Slots should have come with its own libsdl.so.x Make sure it's using the correct one !!! It's an older game so it's probably using an older version. The libsdl.so.x will probably we in the same directory as the install directory, if it's not, find it on the cd and copy it over. You might even have rename your sdl that came with gentoo. Hope that helps a little
