Created attachment 662 [details]
screenshot of the error that the installer gives

I can't seem to install on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex).  I am not a "Linux Guy", so I don't know how to re-compile, or anything like that.  (That's what every software company wants you to do if their package doesn't work.)  I downloaded Amaya on my WinXP machine,  and it works fine.  It's just my Ubuntu box that's giving me fits.  I have attached a screen shot of the package installer so you can see the errors I am getting.

Thanks.

I suspect you installed the package without the super user rights.
The solution is probably to execute:

 sudo dpkg -i ..../amaya_wx-R.V-1_i386.deb

Let me know if it solves your problem
