That's odd, they should work normally. Game is compiled for english language, so maybe it doesn't do anything because you are missing the data files? Can you try with english data files? I can compile a german version too if you want.

Can you post the error message you get when you run it from a console? Try starting it with a command 'jagged'. I suspect there's something wrong with your /home/user/.ja2/ja2.ini or maybe the permissions on /home/user/.ja2 directory are incorrect.
~ $ ja2
~ $
Same with jagged, the window pops up for about 2 frames and then it's gone, like I said. It's kind of curious, huh?
The FIRST time I tried to run it, it had an error, I think (can't remember now) that it was something like unable to make ~/.ja2/Data, so I ran as root, fixed that error.
EDIT: Hehe, well I got to thinking that it's likely the problem is because Data and ja2.ini are owned by root. Unforuntely I can't change the owner because "there's not enough space left on device". (there's only 1KB of space left
)

Ukki, thanks for you reply. I guess the error is related to the german data files. I used the german straciatella binary for windows, that's probably why the error didn't occur there.
Would it be possible for you to compile a german binary for the IT? Thanks a million - I do not know how to obtain english data files.
If it's too much trouble I won't be worried - fighting Deidranna only with my self-created soldier still is so much fun on the N800

Ok, I manged to free up some space. It's weird, once you get such low space, you can't even UNinstall stuff! That's pretty poor design in my opinion.
Anyway, I changed the owners to user for Data and Da2.set NOW it launches from the shortcut and ja2 under user but it gives the following error:
===> sgp/FileMan.c:456: EraseDirectory() is not implemented
Aborted
Looks like we need more functions!

It's no trouble to compile a german binary, I'll do it tonight.

Good news! I got it to work under the normal user. I just had to set full access permission to everything in ~/.ja2/* kind of a pain, but it works any way so I'm happy. Looks like a great game too!
How I wonder how long it will be until we get StarCraft on the tablets! Blizzard just released a No-CD update for StarCraft today, good times!

Just put the game's data-directory to /media/mmc1/ja2data-directory (outer memory card). If you want to use some other path, just issue this command in xterm: echo "data_dir = /path/that/contains/datadir" > /home/user/.ja2/ja2.ini
Or do I have to install the game on my PC to get the /data folder I'm looking for?
Unfortunately I have one problem:
I cannot access the "AIM" Website, more specifically I can access the main page but the four buttons at the bottom (members/rules/history/links) do not work for me. The only way for me to play is to generate my own soldier (with the xep... code).
I am using german data files; I tried the Windows Straciatella binary and everything worked.
I thought about generating a (windows) savegame and then resume the game on my n800, but the savegame won't be accepted.
Every hint is appreciated. And again: Thank you so much!
P.S.: I have the N800 tablet. The rest of the game works fine.
