Title: Ubuntu 0.5 Install issues
Post by: Nogster on June 23, 2006, 06:51:57 pm
Well, it's a really simple issue, I can't install it!  ??? apt-get install uqm is giving me 0.4.1 and I'm too much of a Linux noob to figure out how to compile it.  Anyone have any advice on how I can install 0.5?

You might try installing the .deb package from here:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/games/uqm.html

If I understand correctly, Ubuntu is based off Debian testing. This
should probably work. If not....

Grab the source code and trying the following:
cd to_directory_with_package
tar zxf uqm-0.5.0-source.tar.gz
cd uqm-0.50
./build.sh uqm

You'll also need the content file. I don't know where it goes on
a Ubuntu system. The REAME file in the uqm package should
have more details.
