In other words, uninstall IcedTea via the Synaptic Package Manager and then install both JRE and JDK (for future use, just in case) via the sun.com/java web site and be sure to download the version you need, 32 or 64 bit. JRE, really you should need the JRE to play a game within the Java Runtime Environment, but first to the IcedTea issue, IcedTea is Ubuntu's version of JRE without going into more detail, so I would uninstall Iced Tea and then do an uninstall and reinstall of the Java utilities that you need and/or want. That is another good question, about the JDK vs. some things i can google, but this is too much for me.Īctually, i uninstalled openJDK java runtime in ubuntu software center and installed sun java runtime so i dont understand why its using openJDK java runtime. jar and from tar.gz with the same result. Program will exit.btw i uninstalled then freecol using ubuntu software centrer and tryed to install it from.

if i run it from terminal i get this /usr/games/freecolĮxception in thread "main" : Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.soĪt (ClassLoader.java :1646)Īt 0(Runtime.java:787)Īt (System.java:1022)Īt $NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)Īt 0(ClassLoader.jav a:1747)Īt (ClassLoader.java :1664)Īt 0(Runtime.java:840)Īt (System.java:1047)Īt .run(LoadLibr aryAction.java:67)Īt .run(LoadLibr aryAction.java:47)Īt (Native Method)Īt (Toolkit.java:1614)Īt .(Dimension.java:87)Īt net.sf.freecol.FreeCol.(FreeCol.java:106)Ĭould not find the main class: net.sf.freecol.FreeCol. but if i want to run it from menu it doesnt run. And now you've mastered the basics, you can try the multiplayer features, and pit your skills against other players.I installed game freecol on my ubuntu 9.10 from ubuntu software center. The King won't like it, and an attack force will be sent, but if you've prepared well, and are strong enough to defeat it, then congratulations are due - you've won the game. The ultimate objective is to become powerful enough to declare your independence from Europe.

Will you become their friends, learn new skills and trade with them? Or attack their villages and take what they have by force? It's your call. War can't be too far away.Īnd then there are the native Americans. Other European powers are building colonies of their own, expanding their borders and becoming all too powerful. And there's another complication: you're not alone. There are cities to build and manage, and new technologies to learn. You'll need to earn money by producing goods and sending them back to Europe. You lead a tiny band of settlers who've just arrived in America, with just one goal: to make the country your own. FreeCol is an open source clone of Sid Meier's excellent turn-based strategy game, Colonization.
