There is quite a mess of very old libraries required for this game, but with some poking I managed to run it. I extracted some of the required libraries from Linux Mint 17.3 and put them in this archive.
Unpack the archive to your game directory:
tar xvf fakemint.tar.bz2
Then link the libraries into the 'lib' directory provided by GOG's installer, so they mesh nicely:
cd lib
ln -s ../fakemint/* .
Then go back to the main game directory and do not use GOG's start.sh script to start the game, but start it directly with the modified library path:
cd ../game
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./TheAquaticAdventureOfTheLastHuman
It seems to work for me. I'm using a 64-bit Debian and I of course had to install multiarch and the 32-bit Nvidia drivers, etc, but if you have switched on multiarch and installed the 386 version of Steam (heh) you will get most of those dependencies installed for free.
How do I prettify the commands above? Is there no preformatted/code formatting in this forum?
