    What happens if you try running them from a terminal? If the answer is that you get some error messages about missing libraries, try installing those libraries.

    This happened to me for a bit too and I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it. Just keep trying!

    to be more specific, you probably want these libraries:
    sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libfftw3-3 liblua5.1-0 libbz2-1.0

    future proof installs:
    libsdl2-2.0-0 liblua5.2-0 libluajit-5.1-2

    I think fftw3 is already static so it might not be required, lua is supposed to be static but isn't in the 64 builds at the moment. I don't control the compiling so can't fix any issues in the official releases.
