CrazyUsername, I figured out how to install the the game by reviewing (though it was not very clear) the topic: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33336.0

The working steps are:

Download PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin
open a terminal window
type su root then when prompted it's password (so chmod can be ran on the file)
type cd /file's location
type chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin
Finally type ./PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin --mode text

Also it's mandatory to be in root or to have be a super user the appropriate folders will be written.  Hope that helps.

Take care,
Darin

I am using Fedora 9 and I am having the same problem as SomeCrazyUsername.  I have followed the above link that Caarrie posted several times, but still received the same problem.  I have downloaded PlaneShift from the both Stacken and Xorden and both returned the same error.  Here are the instructions that I have been following to install PlaneShift:

Downloaded PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin
opened terminal window
su root (so I can run chmod on file)
cd file's location
chmod a+x PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin
./PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin
After a second or so, receive Segmentation fault error!

I have also tried running chmod 755 PlaneShift-v0.4.01-x86.bin, but still received the same error.  If anyone has any other suggestions, please let us know as I have tried several times to install PlaneShift over the last few months and can't get past this error.

Thanks and Take care,
Darin
