I'm new to ubuntu...so if anyone can help me through updating or getting the new TMW on.
I still have the old version and i don't know how to install the new one.
HELP ME...

How much experience with Linux have you got?
Have you ever compiled anything from source?
Do you have IRC? (If so, go to themanaworld.freenode.net, I am there and will try to help you)

no sry...not much exp...and i'm not very good at computers too
so if u could help me through this it would be nice...

I don't use ubuntu. If you don't like the following, please, ask some Ubuntu guru.

1. install gcc (probably you already have it)
2. install SDL and all SDL_... libraries together with 'dev' packages (I don't know if Ubuntu works in tthis way, but both Linux distributions I've ever tried had every library divided into two packages: one with shared libraries and another one with headers)
3. download guichan from http://guichan.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Downloads and compile it according the instructions which you can find inside the package (file)
4. install physfs (I've read on it's web that ubuntu provides packages)
5. Now you should have all libraries necessary to compile TMW. Do it.

Is this enough? If not, tell me, what should I deeper explain or so...

Why not this: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5498? It will even install the stuff your missing.

sorry but you are new to ubuntu(mean you use it for sort time) or you do not use it?


as for compiling from source


see
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Git_Repository
of how to get latest client (just clone eathera client not the tmw client )

and
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Dependencies

of what dependencies you must have on your system to compile the tmw from source

To install TMW 0.27 (works good, i have not installed 0.28 yet) in ubuntu I:
opened Synaptic
Click Settings, Repositories
this will open software sources window
click the Third-Party Software tab
at the bottom click add
add the server closet to you
server list for amd64: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amd64/tmw/download
server list for x86: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/tmw/download

example of server listing

deb http;//mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu jauntry main universe

click add to source, close the window
click reload on synaptic
search for tmw and install
hope this helps
