Have been wanting to try this game out for a while now, but have never been able to accomplish it.
Has any one managed this, if so any chance of a step by step. :?
Thanks in advance
*EDIT*
Well i found this pagehttp://xzcallaway.synthasite.com/rpg.php
and so was able to install Aleph One by downloading this deb http://xzcallaway.synthasite.com/resources/alephone_20090909-1_i386.deb 32bit only so ran it by
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture alephone_20090909-1_i386.debThen I changed directory in terminal to excaliburs folder
makethensudo make installWhich installed it but when I try to run it i get the following error in terminal
/usr/local/bin/alephone: error while loading shared libraries: libspeex.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorySIGH! :evil:
I would search in google and synaptic for libspeex.
Already Installed even tried to install development files and others listed still got same error.
Have it working nicely in Wine though, would rather have it running natively
I pulled up alacarte to get the command that the excalibur launcher was using to launch game which was
loadmarathonexcaliburI then punched it into terminal to get the proper error message
rustybolts@rustybolts-laptop:~$ loadmarathonexcaliburTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/loadmarathonexcalibur", line 11, in <module>

ImportError: No module named wx

An old thread of yours which may help -> Someone was trying to compile it by the sounds of it.

After some more searching, looks like wx refers to wxPythonGTK "python-wxgtk2.8" try installing that.
Yeah that got me over that hurdle.
But now after running launcher again (see screenshot) despite installing Aleph One via 32bit deb
Found a 64bit deb for Aleph One here:-
https://launchpad.net/~aportier/+archive/ppa/+build/983548
Terminal output confirming installation
rustybolts@rustybolts-laptop:~$ alephone

despite this when running excalibur i get same window as screenshot in my previous post.
So i know i have Aleph one installed. So i went back to first step of making excalibur file and got the following error
[ -x /usr/local/bin/alephone ] || ( echo /usr/local/bin/alephone is not executable && false)/usr/local/bin/alephone is not executable
The poster on the thread
[url="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440940"]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440940[/url] he said
keyword is "alephone" googled it and the game aleph one came up, so I downloaded it as well and cd'd to the folder and did a ./config and ...
The writing in red what the hell is he on about because thats how he fixed the problem. :(
Now Works
Well I searched for Alephone file it was actually located in /usr/bin/alephone so i sudo nautilus i copied and pasted into /usr/local/bin.
It now works but not in the orthodox fashion the menu launcher still doesn't work but i can change this.
The file "emr" if set to run as executable starts the game (file is contained in original zip of EMR).
Now to clean up my menus. :D
Well you should be able to just point your menu item to the file you moved, good job!
