Hi guys

I can't start both BG Games in Ubuntu 14.04 (also tested in openSUSE 13.1). I have unzip the Game in my home dir and after trying "start.sh" to launch nothing happens. So I have try to start the games over the terminal (with "sudo sh start.sh"), and get the Following output:

start.sh: 6: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 7: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 8: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 9: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 12: start.sh: Bad substitution
start.sh: 12: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 18: start.sh: source: not found
start.sh: 73: start.sh: define_option: not found
start.sh: 74: start.sh: define_option: not found
start.sh: 75: start.sh: define_option: not found
start.sh: 80: start.sh: standard_options: not found

I don't know what i can do now, hope for help.

P.S.
Same problem at Planescape Torment. All "start.sh" are checked to "allowed executing file as programm".

i'm running ubuntu 14.04 as well and i had the same problem. what i did was use "copy" on the start.sh file then opened a terminal and used "paste filenames". not sure if this will have the same effect that you mentioned but it's how i got mine working.
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it didn't work for me :(

EDIT:

I have the Support contacted, seems i miss some libraries on my X64 System. Now starts the Games with "./start.sh". If anyone have the same problem, try install this libraries:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386

Now i will try out some mods, like Fixpack & Widescreen Mod ;)

Just an FYI, it's a BASH script not DASH or Bourne shell. So, bash start.sh, /full/path/to/bash start.sh or simply ./start.sh. No need to run it as root.
