Penumbra Collection - frontend error
Back a few versions (MandrivaLinux that is), this game has worked well. I don't know why now. I am not sure if it's 2010.1, the kernel I am using, the KDE version, or what, but this is what I get:

[jeremy@localhost Downloaded Files]$ sh PenumbraCollection-1.1.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Installer for The Penumbra Collection.............
Uncompressing sub archive.........................................................................​...
Collecting info for this system...

lddlibc4: cannot read header from `bin/linux/x86/libc.so.6/ncurs'
Error: Couldn't find any suitable frontend for your system
[jeremy@localhost Downloaded Files]$

What is a frontend? something that is simply to find?
need more info?

RE: Penumbra Collection - frontend error
the installer that is being used contains several frontends within it.. One using GTK 2, anther using FLTK and one more using ncurses. Those are the 3 files that i "cannot read header from" errors are against.

I'd suggest trying to do this
sh PenumbraCollection-1.1.sh --target ./temp --keep --noexec
cd temp
./startupinstaller.sh

and see if it runs ok then.

unless i did it wrong, something still didn't work.

RE: Penumbra Collection - frontend error
move the installer to a folder without a space in it. I'm assuming that folder was "Downloaded Files"

I am not 100% sure it worked all the way or not. It says software is being installed. the bar is as right as it can be. it says "status: saving serial number (3/3)"
but "next" is grayed out. been a good 3 minutes easy.

RE: Penumbra Collection - frontend error
There is probably a dialog box somewhere that says "install done"
Some window managers (notably KDE) do some funky things with the placement of that prompt so it appears behind the install window.
