     Hello!

    I am trying to execute it from the terminal and it gives this exception:

    "powder: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

    try installing the needed packages to run tpt:

    sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian lua5.1 libfftw3-3 libbz2-1.0

    Also, is your computer 64 bit? if it is, you might need to either compile tpt yourself or I can give you one that will work. There is no official 64 bit tpt for some reason.

     It still not working but my computer is 64 bits!

    Can you give me a compiled version?

    VERY THANKS, always!

     Are you adding --64bit to the compile command?

    there is also a way to run 32 bit programs on a 64 bit linux, you can google that if you want. It's a little complicated though.

    Really Thanks!

    but it throwed another exception...

    "powder64: error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

    And i've not found libLua anywhere...

    EDIT:

    I've found libLua: sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev

    It worked!
    Problem solved!

    Thanks, really!!!!

    For anyone interested, I still host a recent 64bit build of powder for linux. I never stopped maintaining it...
