Linux Demo Install Problem
 
I just learned that Dominions 3 came out, so naturally I download demo. Unfortunately, when I type in "sudo sh dominions3demo_installer.run", the system gives me an error message of "dominions3demo_installer.run: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected ". Does anybody know what could cause this error message?

The back that it's a binary, not a sh script?

Just give it +x and type ./dominions3demo_installer.run

Ok. That should help.

You also might need to add the --textmode (I think thats the sitch)

I'm experiencing the same problem, and have tried just about every combination of the above command strings I can think of. If someone is able to get this to run, could you please post the entire command that was entered?

This should work:

chmod 755 dominions3demo_installer.run
./dominions3demo_installer.run

Kristoffer,

Thanks for the reply. I'm still getting

Syntax error: "(" unexpected

when using the above commands.

I've tried downloading several times and even chmod 777.

I'm running Ubuntu(Eft) on a PPC, if that has any bearing.
