[SOLVED] Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory won't startup

I did this:

wget [url]http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/hosted/et/official/et-linux-2.60.x86.run[/url]
chmod a+x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
wget [url]http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/hosted/et/official/et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run[/url]
chmod a+x et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
Now install the game to the directory of your choice:

./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
and then patch it:

./et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
To run the game simply invoke command:
et

invoking the et doesn't work, but when I do a ./et I get this:

I don't know what's the problem.. I am on crunchbang stable 64 bit. Maybe it doesn't work on 64 bit?

Re: [SOLVED] Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory won't startup

Two things:
1. Please put your terminal output between [ code] and [ /code ] tags (without the spaces) to make it easier to read.
2. 32-bit games are notoriously difficult to run on 64-bit Linux: http://maketecheasier.com/run-32-bit-ap … 2009/08/10

You could try to install all the 32-bit libraries, but if this game is that important to you it's probably easier to install 32-bit Linux.

I already installed the ia32-libs, so I suppose it just doesn't work.. Thanks for the help!
