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?

Re: Linux Demo Install Problem
The back that it's a binary, not a sh script?
Just give it +x and type ./dominions3demo_installer.run

Re: Linux Demo Install Problem
You also might need to add the --textmode (I think thats the sitch)

Re: Linux Demo Install Problem
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?

Re: Linux Demo Install Problem
This should work:
chmod 755 dominions3demo_installer.run
./dominions3demo_installer.run

Re: Linux Demo Install Problem
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.
