Linux install problems

[TitanAE]

Hello people first i am new in learning linux.Second i had done every single step that is told and when i start the game i get this message:

The GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3 extension doesn't appear to be available on your computer. The game may still work, though - you are welcome to try at your own risk. If not or it doesn't look right, upgrade your graphics card.

Location: GameSetup.cpp:885 (InitGraphics)

Thanks for any help.

Hi TitanAE,

I probably won't be able to help you as I'm not that much of a computer (or linux) expert myself, but it might be useful for people that want to help you if you could include some info about your computer (what linux distribution are you running, what version, what graphical card do you have, ...)

I really hope someone can help you solve this problem

Also the output of running the command "glxinfo" from a terminal might be helpful.

well i found the problem turns out that i cant play it on an old ibm machine because when i installed it on another "newer" computer it worked fine here is the glx info:

you can read this but you will find in the end that this is Slow computer. BTW great game i wasted hours at my friend "newer" computer.

And i am plaing this game on ubuntu 10.04 lts.

I assume that's the glxinfo from the older machine, not the "newer" one? The "i810E" is from about 1999 so I'd hate to imagine what could be older and still in use . The game will never work on that machine - it needs something more powerful to handle the 3D graphics.
