Default Re: Linux: Installation on 64-bit system

You can install the game by hand. All the installer does is put the game files into the right directories. You can just do all that by hand. If you have a 32bit system with Dom3 installed, then look where the contents from the CD have been copied to, and do the same. Alternatively, I think the installer supports text mode, too, not sure about that.

I think I went as far as opening the file, which is just a shell script, with a text editor and followed the steps inside it by hand one time. I think I remember that the problem was that it assumed a bash-like command interpreter while the shebang was set to /bin/sh, can't remember and could just as well have been another game though.
