Installing But I May Be Wrong.

Feb 13, 2008 Bohanna link
Okay so i downloaded the game, looks awesome, all excited

i run the game and then i get my terminal COMPLETELY flooded with this message...

Where would you like to install the Vendetta executable? [/home/luke/bin] read: 70: arg count
/home/luke/bin does not exist!

Then.. it goes weird because once my terminal gets flooded with that, it then automatically starts deleting the flood but like slowly, it is taking forever... like as if i was holding down backspace in a word document.

Whats going on, is it ment to do this?

Please Help.

Thankyou

Update - I Created a 'bin' folder in that place and it installed.
Nevermind.

Thanks for this information, it saved me to :)

But it does mean that we can't change the installation directory :/

Fix devs?

It's a long-standing bug in the installer that dash (which pretty much only Ubuntu uses) doesn't take input the same way bash does. a1k0n keeps saying he'll fix it, but *shrug*. Maybe he'll just open-source the installer some day, then I can go fix it...

Just encountered same thing while playing with ubuntu.
It could really use fixing as maybe only ubuntu has this issue but lots of linux newbs happen to start with exactly that :)
