[SOLVED] Installation problem (Lua error detected: cannot open shared/utils.lua) - prischeyadro - 09-08-2010

Thanks for releasing Linux-version of Amnesia.
I use ArchLinux, i686 with KDE4 and unfortunately can't complete the installation.

Trying to install the game with console command
Code:
./amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh -u -d ~/amnesia/ -k ST******** -l --nox11
(interactive install fails as well and also crashes plasma if compositing is enabled. Anyway, it's not very interesting because of non-interactive install option available)
It gives the following:
Code:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Google says nothing. What could it be?

Try
Code:
./amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh --target TEMP --keep --noexec
then see if it extracted correctly. Then you can manually run the startupinstaller.sh from there OR if it extracted the binaries just run ./bin/linux/x86/gtk (or fltk, or ncurs)

Thanks, installed flawlessly with startupinstaller.sh
