Ok, I'm running Ubuntu linux 7.10. I found out about your game here and it's friggin' amazing from what I've seen and heard. My problem is that I downloaded the linux version 989 with sound, and I'm fairly certain I've got all the dependencies for it, but I keep getting the game crashing out on me. Originally I had an issue where the game would hang as I made and action for about 20 seconds or so and then crash out after running normally for another minute or so. Now I'm not even able to get the game to run period. I select Continue Game and get this error in my Terminal.
An unhandled exception occurred at $0805A682 :oomrl

I've gotten this error the last time I tried to play, and most of the time it just boots me back to a messy Terminal with no error message, or at least none that I can see. Also, I've tried running the Gnome-doomrl file and it says that it was unable to create the child window or something so I never used it after that.
If there's anything I can do to get you some more info on this issue, please let me know. I'll help in any way that I can.

One think that I'd like you to try is the nosound version. Also it's quite wierd the game doesn't run through the batch script. Unfortunately I'm no linux user, maybe one of our forum linuxers will have a suggestion :/.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with KDE (Kubuntu), and the only problem I got is that the music stopped playing after some time, but that might have been my own fault :-P.
try a couple of things:
try running it in a different terminal emulator (e.g. Konsole)
also try deleting all game files and unpack it from the downloaded archive again
look at log.txt in the game irectory after a crash, maybe it will say sth

Ok, so I've got the no sound version now and it's working like a champ, however, the Gnome Terminal batch thing still isn't working. But now I'm good to go since I listen to other stuff anyway! Thanks guys!

You're right, it does not work. Thats my experience too.

A bit late my answer, but none of the batch files work (gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm).
The problem is that the scripts have windows end-of-line (CRLF) and so sh doesn't parse them well.
I solved the problem in (K)Ubuntu 8.04 with "dos2unix" (which converts text files' end-of-line from dos to unix). The command is in the 'tofrodos' debian/ubuntu package.
Cheers!
