I am trying to install vega strike under Ubuntu 13.10, and there are no instructions to be found for Ubuntu 13.10.
So first I tried the 13.04 installation procedures http://software.opensuse.org/download.h ... trike-data, but they do not work. There is no command 'deb' in Ubuntu 13.10.
Next I downloaded the tar files, and extracted them: http://software.opensuse.org/download.h ... trike-data. However, now I do not know how to install this game. I tried to run 'vsinstall.sh', but no success. Also there is no Makefile etc.
I also tried to compile the code from source (vegastrike-src-0.5.1.r1.tar), but when I run configure I encounter an error:
checking for python... configure: error: *** Python version 2.2 or later not found!
although I have python 2.7.5 installed on the system.
How to best install vega strike on Ubuntu 13.10. Maybe it cant be installed on Ubuntu 13.10? Any useful help appreciated!!!

Re: How to install vega strike under Ubuntu 13.10
As none is willing to help or just does not know, here is the solution:
The solution given on the web page so work (so far, probably the game will not run, or it will crash or something). The problem is following line:
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... ntu_13.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vegastrike-data.list
which might not work in all bashes, when run with sudo!
Solution is to create a file by its own:
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vegastrike-data.list
and here just put in the following content:
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... ntu_13.04/ /
After that, apt-get is working,

There is no such thing as a deb command in any Linux system .deb is package file for Debian based distros that is installed will the Debian package manager commands of the apt-get family just follow the instructions for 13.04
We have not used configure/make for about a year now we use cmake because it works on Windows and OSX as well as Linux cmake files are easier to maintain.
AS root that as root means put sudo before the echo you will need to type in your password before it will do any installing.
Enjoy the Choice

Re: How to install vega strike under Ubuntu 13.10
I'm building a package for 13.10, but it's still unstable (ie: untested).
If anyone feels like testing it, I'll appreciate the help.
