Having Problems Installing with Ubuntu
Hello everyone! I'm mainly a windows user, but I am thinking about switching to Ubuntu. That being said, Ubuntu can do most of what Windows can that I like, but I am having a hard time installing this for Ubuntu. Every time I make my own directory to install the game, the install completes but doesn't launch. It's so frustrating. If I can get OOTP 14 to install correctly on Linux, windows will be a thing of the past for me. So can any Linux users help me install this? I looked at the online manual and it still didn't help me.

What happens, specifically, when you run the install program? Are you installing in a directory which you have control over (such as /home/USER/..)? Make sure you are not using the default directory. I'm a Fedora user and the install package won't even begin using the default path. Also, great to see new converts to Linux!

well it will install when I change the directories, but the launcher won't open. I'm not sure what I keep doing wrong though
I got this command from terminal after the install 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 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 and this one. shawn@shawn-p6674y:~$ '/home/shawn/Documents/Out of the Park Baseball 14/lib/ootp14' /home/shawn/Documents/Out of the Park Baseball 14/lib/ootp14: error while loading shared libraries: libvcdcom.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I installed the game to a directory not in root either so I don't know what's going on and the file in question is most definitely in the same folder and directory as the bin file Last edited by Shawn0531; 09-20-2013 at 10:15 PM. |

Your first issue seems to be with the package 'menu'. You probably need to remove;

Two questions then.
1. If the menus are fixed, do you now have an ootp link in the menu somewhere? 2. Have you tried running ootp14.sh from terminal? The ootp14 file you were attempting to run I believe is used by the symlink in the menu to open the program whereas the .sh is the shell script that will run in the terminal. |

Ok, I'm going to test your error later today. Can you confirm the Ubuntu version you're using? 13.04? 32 or 64 bit? Thanks,
Matt Update: I got ootp to install and run a couple of different times. I think this is a simple syntax error. Try changing the directory ../Out of the Park Baseball 14/.. to something without spaces. I call my parent directory simply../OOTP14. Last edited by mattf; 09-21-2013 at 07:59 PM. Reason: update |

I am using 13.04 Ubuntu 64 Bit version. I installed all the 32 bit library packages too.
I renamed the directory without spaces and I still keep getting error messages. Quote:

Great to hear. One other thing I discovered that may be useful is regarding the updates. The compressed file doesn't seem to extract correctly if you do it in the default manner. All you need to do is extract the installer.pkg file from the update you just downloaded into the /home/../data/ folder to overwrite the previous version and run the installer as if you were installing for the first time. I banged my head against the wall for a while on that one!
