Help with HPL2 .bin files-(New to Linux) - DeadBacon - 04-11-2014

Hi there.
First off I just want to apologize, because this is probably going to have a obvious fix, but I'm new to Linux(Lubuntu if it matters).

I just downloaded the HPL2 editor and installed it, but all the files are all .bin files. Being new to Linux I've no idea what to do with these.
After some google search time I tried doing:

sudo chmod +x LevelEditor.bin
./Level Editor.bin

and got the error:

"Error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

Thanks to anyone that can help,
-Dead Bacon

Where did you download the editor suite from? It looks like you didn't install it correctly at all. What version of Amnesia: TDD do you have and where did you purchase it from? The HPL2 tools REQUIRE a purchased copy of Amnesia: TDD and install themselves into the game install directory.

And you shouldn't have to chmod +x the bin files at all, as the installer sets them up as executable to being with. You simply just execute them ./LevelEditor.bin. they are simply executables.. the ".bin" was only added to differentiate the 32bit from the 64bit executables (as 64bit install are named .bin64 )

Downloaded it from http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tools/start So I doubt that is the problems
I do have a purchased copy of ATDD. I bought it through steam.
So I guess I went wrong somewhere in the installation. It was having trouble finding the Amnesia directory, so maybe I messed up there.

When I try to run the bin file it keeps asking me what I want to open it with. Any advice?

Tried reinstalling the HPL2 suite. It still asks me what I want to use to open the .bin files and acts like they are not executables. I'm assuming it's not the Amnesia install itself since steam handled that and Amnesia TDD runs fine.
