Unable to Start vendetta - Mandriva One 2009

Dec 13, 2008 Binary_Fiction link
greetings everyone,

please can you help me, I am new to linux and can not figure out how to start the game.....I have read many posts to try and find a fix with no luck.

I am using Mandriva One 2009
I have installed the game (sh vendetta...etc)
cd .vendetta (took me a little while to find the folder because it does not show up a file manager or terminal)

tried to run the executable from a file manager and I get "open with" or as shown below in terminal and get command not found

[barry@localhost .vendetta]$ vendetta
bash: vendetta: command not found

Thanks for your help,
BF

The executable you should be running is in ~/bin its called vendetta - if you try run this and get a premission error, do chmod +x ~/bin/vendetta in a terminal (or right click on the vendetta file, and click properties, and select "allow to run as program")

Thanks for your help.

For some reason I had to slightly modify what you told me to do and following worked fine for me....not sure why because I used the defaults when I installed the game.

chmod +x ~/.vendetta/vendetta
~/.vendetta/vendetta

have fun
