First I tried the bin file. I got the install program to run all the way through. However, at the end of the install I get a message the says:
sh: 1: /usr/bin/update-menus: not-found
sh: 1: /usr/bin/update-menus: not-found

sh: 1: /usr/bin/update-menus: not-found
sh: 1: /usr/bin/update-menus: not-found
sh: 1: /usr/bin/update-menus: not-found
No icons showed up on my desktop and there was no sign of the game on my computer at all.
Then, being a die-hard OOTP fan, I installed Steam and bought/installed OOTP through it. It ran the install and the icon showed up on my desktop. However, when I click it, nothing happens. When I click "Play" from within Steam, nothing happens.
If someone can provide me with a solution to either of these issues, I would be grateful.

Obviousman,
You should be able to ignore the "/usr/bin/update-menus" errors... What directory did you install OOTP15 into? For me the installation went into the same directory that I had extracted the install file into (ie, /home/kryakyu/OOTP15). Depending on the options you choose when you did the install, you may also have a OOTP<something>.desktop file in your ~/Desktop directory. If you have this file, check to see that it has execute permissions: "chmod 0775 FILENAME" should do the trick.
Since I have not installed Steam, I am not sure where that version would be, but I suspect that it would be something along the lines of .../steam/SteamApps/common/Out_Of_The_Park_Baseball_15/. Either way, you should find the file ootp15.sh in the root of the installation directory and be able to run it from a command (shell) window. From earlier comments in this thread, my understanding is that for the steam version you need to run ootp15.sh one time *before* starting the steam client to get it to work properly.
If you cannot find ootp15.sh, at worst, you can open a shell window and run "find . -name ootp15.sh -ls".
Hope this helps!
