Problem with running ToME on Linux

[aliud]

Hi!
I try to run ToME 1.2.0 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (Squeeze), kernel release - 2.6.32-5-686, desktop environment - Gnome 2. When i try to run the file "t-engine-launcher", i see window with string "Error: Write directory is not set" and i see in linux terminal:
"Error: Write directory is not set
stack traceback:
/main.lua in function 'setError'
/main.lua:137: in function 'checkLauncherUpdate'
/main.lua:115: in function 'checkPatches'
/main.lua:91: in function 'init'
/loader/init.lua:71: in main chunk"
Screenshot attached.
What am i doing wrong?
Can you help me, please?

I have the same problem. My guess is the launcher was imported from the windows launcher, and it doesn't like the linux orginization. DG will get to it eventually, I'm guessing. In the meantime, mine works if I run from t-engine.exe, rather than from the launcher.

Although I get a different error message (the wrong version of libudev), the launcher works fine for me.

Yes the linux launcher is a bit of an experiment still, reprot any bugs/errors here and run the game as usual instead. thanks

[aliud]

I run the game from "t-engine" on my Linux and the game started, but very, very, very slow. For example, if i press "Exit" in game menu, new window with message "Really exit T-Engine/ToME?" opens for around 10 seconds.

My computer's characteristics:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Memory: 2 Gb
Video: ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series

Screenshots attached.

Thanks anyway.
