I have heard that installing or running .tar.gz files is possible. This is a source code, also and if there is a difference I should be told about it. The game is http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/files/knights_022_src.tar.gz. Success would be great. This is a good game, It would be appreciated. ;)
Followed mikewhatever's directions below but ran into:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libsdl1.2-dev' instead of 'libsdl-dev'
Note, selecting 'libfontconfig1-dev' instead of 'libfontconfig-dev'
build-essential is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl4-gnutls-dev : Depends: libcurl3-gnutls (= 7.22.0-3ubuntu4.2) but 7.22.0-3ubuntu4.3 is to be installed
Depends: libgnutls-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: librtmp-dev but it is not going to be installed
libfontconfig1-dev : Depends: libfontconfig1 (= 2.8.0-3ubuntu9) but 2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1 is to be installed
libsdl1.2-dev : Depends: libx11-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpulse-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxt-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxext-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get autoclean
removed the held packages.
This sends me looking for repositories but the curl and libcurl repositories are without libcurl4-gnutls-dev.
