this seemed to work. the bz2 file was in my downloads folder, so i used Code: Code: cd Downloads then i used Code: Code: tar xvjf PyLotRO-[version].tar.bz2 it exestracted the package alright! files flow every where!!! lol so then i used Code: Code: sudo ./setup.py install and this is what i got Code: Code: running install running build running build_py running build_scripts running install_lib running install_scripts changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pylotro to 755 running install_data running install_egg_info Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyLotROLauncher-0.1.11.egg-info Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyLotROLauncher-0.1.11.egg-info writing list of installed files to 'pylotro-install.log' now the icon is on my desk top just the way it should be, right? so i finished going through the how-to. i got to the end where is said i had to up-date the game " Run Tools->Update (IMPORTANT - the game will fail if you don't run the update first), then select your server and log in using your account username and password." the problem is that there is no Tool->update option. so if any one knows what i did wrong and/or how to fix it please tell me!!!!
