Several days ago I’ve posted about Dressed-Up Pups is coming to GNU/Linux, but apparently, more games are coming to GNU/Linux as well…
“We’ll be releasing our top games like Soccer Cup Solitaire, Spooky Runes, The Perfect Tree and our latest release Dress-Up Pups. Though before we finish the process of making Linux builds I’d love to hear if you think that our current builds for Linux are player-friendly. Please download one of Runes of Avalon games and let me know either via email (support at anawiki.com or www.anawiki.com/contact.php) or posting a blog comment.
Download Runes of Avalon for Linux
Download Runes of Avalon 2 for Linux
Unfortunately, after installing Ubuntu 10.10 I found out that Runes of Avalon 2 doesn’t work on it. It installs fine, but so far I can’t make it work. If you find out that one of our games doesn’t work on your Linux build please let me know and give as much details as possible.”

Thanks Grzegorz Budny for bringing those wonderful news to our attention.
OpenSuSE 11.2
KDE 4.3.0
Runes of Avalon:
* starting from the installer gives a ~/runes_of_avalon/runes_start: line 3: 7321 Segmentation fault ./runes_of_avalon
* shortcut created does not start the game either
* manual starting the game from the command line inside the install directory works fine
* no messages otherwise
* uninstall works as expected
Runes of Avalon 2:
*starting from the installer gives a ~/roa2demo/roa2-start: line 3: 7567 Segmentation fault ./runes-of-avalon-2-demo
* shortcut created does not start the game either
* manual starting the game from the command line inside the install directory works fine
* messages while starting

The AL lib message about pulse happen because I don’t have pulse running but KDE 4 has some pulse stuff installed and you can’t get rid of it. However sound is fine as it then defaults to ALSA
I think the failure to launch has something to do with not launching from inside installed directory but did not try to solve it yet, to little time.
Both games seem very addictive though !
ooops I meant KDE 4.3.5 !
I suggest you to send it to their email : support@anawiki.com , or comment in their page here : http://www.anawiki.com/blog/2010/12/01/linux-games-announcement/
Thanks for the feedback.
