Hi All,

A couple of days I purchased a copy of SuSe 10 from an authorised dealer.  I
installed SuSe via the DVD, and SuSe was automatically installed as a 64 bit
version.  Hardware detection was flawless, and everything runs very well.

I tried to install a simple game (www.planetthinktanks.com) via a sh script
installed but all I got was an error:-

> linux:/home/dllavero # sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin
> Verifying archive integrity... All good.
> Uncompressing ThinkTanks............................
> This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64
> (tried to run setup.gtk)
>

>

> Detecting libc...
> Binary file /lib/libc.so.6 matches
> Detected: os=Linux, arch=x86_64, libc=glibc-2.1
> linux:/home/dllavero #

In order to install the game I logged in as a superuser, typed in my details.  
I then verified, by typing ls, that I was trying to run the game in the right
folder, and then typed sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin to run the installer.

Frustrated, I re-formatted my hard drive, then re-installed SuSe via 5 CD,
which is the 32-bit version.  Upon initial installation SuSe indicated that I
should install the 64-bit version as opposed to the 32-bit version.

I proceed with the installation to find that SuSe was crashing not long after
I was trying to use my desktop.

I have two desktops, so with my laptop, which I run Windows *cough cough*, I
downloaded Kubuntu, which is what I am running on my desktop, and I
everything seems to be working fine.

I am curious to know why I am getting these errors?? This is a description of
the hardware I have:-

Is there a 32-bit emulator that I can install that will allow me to install
this game? Or is there a different command line that I can use to install
this game?

Thanks,
Dom
