The Mana World Forums

i know someone has already asked something similar to this further down the page but when i looked it didnt actually tell me how to do this, so, i bought an aspire one today and while i was thinking about getting it the weeks before, i also realised i wanted mana world on it lol, i tried the aspire one site where i first heard of it and i couldnt download it there and when i checked the official site, i didnt have a clue what to do lol

ive like linux for some time now but its still new to me, how do i install this game? any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance people

Well i just tried to install it on my AA1 with the Linpus/Fedora 8 repository. Unfortunately it is Version 0.0.23 which is no longer supported and therefore will not work.
Unless the Packagers make a new version you have to compile it yourself.

can somebody tell me how to compile it then please lol

If it's version 0.0.23, you'll need to update a lot more to do that.

Reciently had the same problem.. I'm using ubuntu
Had to add to my resporsitory

deb mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu jaunty universe

check the tmn website for a mirror in your area ant type of linux your are running

According to [Wikipedia] the Linux-based Acer Aspire One have Linpus Linux Lite installed, which is based on Fedora.

alright, nw can somebody tell me what this means, no offense, its not how you worded it its just i cant understand what it means because as i said, im new to linux XD

thanks again

first of all delete that Linpus Linux Chocolate Cupcake. Linpus Linux is for people who like to klick on everything and like to do anything as root(really they have something similar to windows in /root/ with folders like "my images").

i actually like linpus, its really easy to use and i think its great lol

then don't expect to find any support here

hey im only asking for help, someone might know how to someone up there said they had a similar problem, im guessing i might be able to find some help

how do i add stuff to my repository and what website do i have to look on?

Not sure on Linpus/Fedora
all the links are i've seen are on the download page : http://themanaworld.org/downloads.php
hope this helps

ok thanks a lot ^_^, one last question now, when i follow the fedora link (im guessing i have to go on the fedora distribution thing?) it sends me to a wiki sorta page, and on there it tells me about some yum thing which i have no clue about, can someone tell me about how this works and where i get it?

thanks again ve3txz ^_^

@chs1010: first of all read http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm , which means Linux isn't that easy click and run Operating System as Windows, but if you're willing to learn new things it might become quite easy too.

As stated before you have to compile yourself which means: solving all dependencies by either installing the packages through yum or downloading the sources and building them yourself. See http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Dependencies for the files you need to successfully install TMW. Then install the Mana World as stated in the INSTALL file from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/theman ... .27.tar.gz. (see other threads on this forum for hints and manuals)
Use any search engine on how to compile things on Linux and just give it a try!

In the meantime i will try to solve the problem on my AA1 when i have some time. I will then post a complete manual here!
