For the moment, I'm still using R5F27 and would like to add tuxracer to it.
As root, I tried "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install tuxracer" and got the error "E: Couldn't find package tuxracer"
My /etc/apt/sources.list file contains: Code: #Debian repos deb http://ftp.debian.org stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org stable main contrib non-free
#For FreeNX #deb http://packages.debianbase.de/testing/i386/nx/ ./
#For xorg-edit #deb http://debian.geole.info/ stable main contrib non-free
#For additional multimedia packages deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia stable main deb-src http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia stable main
Is there another apt-get source I should add to get tuxracer?
Advice appreciated,
Eric

Hi,
You may be calling it by the wrong name. I would suggest installing synaptic then run it as su (not su -) That way you can seach for the name and if there is not an exact match it usually puts you where you can filter the list by eye.
As with any installs, watch closely for upgrade / removal as they often will hose something you don't want to loose.
Mike

Wow. I had no idea you could run Synaptic Package Manager in Knoppmyth! I thought it was purely a Ubuntu thing.
I installed Synaptic, updated it and searched for tux*, and tuxracer. Neither one was there. I did find an entry for "racer". I searched Google for more info. It looks like a stripped down version of tuxracer.
I guess tuxracer simply isn't in the stable apt-get repositories! I wonder why they don't consider it stable?? The latest version was released back in 2001. There have not been any updates since then!
see http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/
I just tried to put unstable sources in my sources.list and it didn't help - no tuxracer.
I guess we have to download the source code and compile it ourselves?
I just downloaded the source files, untar-ed them and tried the ./configure command. It bombed out with errors:
Code: root@mythtv:/usr/src/tuxracer-0.61# ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... missing checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for c++... c++ checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) works... yes checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes checking for ranlib... ranlib checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/time.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking for working const... yes checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking for getcwd... yes checking for gettimeofday... yes checking for strdup... yes checking for finite... yes checking for isnan... yes checking for _finite... no checking for _isnan... no checking for ieeefp.h... no checking for Win32 platform... no checking for X... libraries , headers checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet... no checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet_stub... no checking for gethostbyname... yes checking for connect... yes checking for remove... yes checking for shmat... yes checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes checking for main in -ldl... yes checking for main in -lm... yes checking for tcl8.3 library... no checking for tcl83 library... no checking for tcl8.2 library... no checking for tcl82 library... no checking for tcl8.0 library... no checking for tcl80 library... no checking for tcl library... no configure: error: Cannot find Tcl library
I've hit the wall. I guess Tuxracer is a no-go.

On my eee 701 it's called Penguin Racer. Try looking for that.

The package is now called planetpenguin-racer:
Quote: Package: tuxracer (0.61-7)
dummy transition package
The game TuxRacer isn't developed anymore, but a fork called PlanetPenguin Racer exists. This is an empty transition package, with the purpose to install the new package planetpenguin-racer on upgrades.
The packages tuxracer, tuxracer-data and tuxracer-extras can safely be removed.

I have Extreme Tux Racer loaded up.
Installed threw Synaptic Package Manager. Works good.
http://www.extremetuxracer.com/
Tux Racer, Frozen Bubble and Synaptic Package Manager were in the early R5??.iso's until space on the cd became a problem.
They even have a Windoze version.

PS: Pingus is another game that my kid likes that also works well. Synaptic Package Manager also.

Hey! I was able to "apt-get install planetpenguin-racer" without a problem.
It works. I've played several games. I need more practice
I looked for "extremetuxracer" in the stable apt-get respository using Synaptic and using apt-get - not there.
