bash: ./home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/extract_from_gog.sh: No such file or directory

[Former user]

I bought the game on GOG and I can't even install the game on Linux. I followed the instructions to extract the files and when I type in the terminal...

#!./home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/extract_from_gog.sh /home/(username)/Downloads/setup_daikatana_2.0.0.3.exe

... the following error appears:

#!bash: ./home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/extract_from_gog.sh: No such file or directory

I checked several times and the locations are correct. If it has something to do with the libraries, I installed the :i386 versions except for libGL, since I get 379 different packages and I don't know which one to choose. There isn't a 32-bit version file, like "libGL:i386", for example.

do cd /home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/

then do

sh extract_from_gog.sh /home/(username)/Downloads/setup_daikatana_2.0.0.3.exe

does it work now?

Did you resolve this issue?

very strange according to the shell the script file dose not exist in that directory

please verify that the script is there before running it

it may of not been extracted from the download archive.

It should probably be /home/bla not ./home/bla (i.e. no dot at the beginning of the path)

Furthermore, it's not supposed to be used like that - you must be in the directory containing the unpacked install data (/home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/) and then call ./extract_from_gog.sh /path/to/setup_daikatana_2.0.0.3.exe (or sh extract_from_gog.sh /path/to/setup_daikatana_2.0.0.3.exe) there - it will copy game data to /home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/data/ so you can the daikatana binary at /home/(username)/Downloads/Games/Daikatana-Linux-2016-08-10/
