Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago 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.............

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?

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.

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.

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.
