Cannot run on Fedora 16 x64

#1 Post by Majirefy » Sat Mar 03, 2012 2:15 am

Recently I have updated my OS to Fedora 16 and Mint(some kind of Ubuntu linux).
But Ren'Py failed to run when I double click renpy.sh file.
No error message returns, or any info.
Is that because my OS is x64?

Yes. On mint, install the ia32-libs package. I don't know what the solution for fedora is.

It really works! Thanks for that.
By the way, why it always says "software rendering"?

That likely means that you don't have OpenGL drivers set up properly. Check out log.txt for more info - it might give a hint as to what's missing.
