Hello,
I want to play Duke 3D but when I try to start, the following error message occurs:

$ duke3d
                   Duke Nukem 3D v1.4 - Atomic Edition
                   Copyright (c) 1996 3D Realms Entertainment                   

ERROR: Could not initialize group file "duke3d.grp"
$

Its not a permission problem because root gets the same output.
Can somebody tell me what I shall do?

Thanks for any help.

Do you have a 48mb file: /usr/share/games/duke3d/duke3d.grp

No I don't have this file.
Where can I get this?

Buy it, or get the free shareware version (you can use "dosbox" to extract duke3d.grp by executing dn3dsw13.exe, which is inside 3dduke13.zip).
