I did it with the Linux demo version: /compat/linux/bin/bash tuxracer-demo-1.1-linux-i386.sh Installs fine, except for some ELF errors in the end of the installation. (to find out the cause you'ld probably have to play with the --keep and --confirm options of the script) I'm seeing this very often when installing from this type of script/archive meant to run on Linux. When I attempt to run the game, it complains about GLX missing, which is correct for the machine I tried on ;-). > So, I tried to upgrade the linux emulation, but > I've discovered that doesn't exist anything under > "/usr/ports/emulator/linux-base_7" > > What's happening with this port ? Use linux-base instead, this will install version 7.1, which is the default nowadays. > Do you think "Tux Racer" will someday run over FreeBSD ? > I expect it will run on a machine with hardware acceleration. For you, it means waiting for the NVidia drivers, or maybe playing in software mode (which really sucks). BTW, there is an open source version of Tuxracer in the ports tree, but of course it doesn't contain all the levels. Good luck, Karel.
