Ganni1987: Hey, sorry. Was out the whole day.

I've tested Ubuntu 14.10 with this game yesterday, the distro already comes with all the necessary dependencies as I was able to run the game just by booting Ubuntu in live cd mode.

Try running the start.sh file in terminal again but this time as root: sudo ./start.sh

If all else fails you can try to download the tarball version and try to run that, personally I prefer using tarballs, I have more control over the file contents in general.
Tried both and still no go,
I'm stumped for ideas.

What graphics card are you using and which driver (open source / proprietary)?

This is very weird to say the least, the game runs straight from the Ubuntu 14.10 live cd on an nvidia card. I'll test it again tomorrow on an old laptop with intel graphics and let you know how it goes.

Using a radeon HD 4200 ( I know I need to upgrade :P )

using the default ubuntu drivers, but from what i hear AMD doesn't support the catalyst drivers on ubuntu 14.10 for some odd reason.

Try this:
/opt/GOG Games/Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic$ ldd ./game/bin/Wasteland

and paste the output here. Just trying to see if we're missing some dependencies here.

ugh, please don't do that. Trying to run things as root is not a valid error solving strategy. It is bad enough that this is such a widespread habit among windows users. Computer security won't ever get anywhere if we continue to do this.

I get what you mean and believe me, I hate it a lot, very recently I was trying to help a very good friend across TeamViewer and Win8.1 was blocking everything I try to do, turns out that the program needed to "run as administrator" which is bullshit since her Windows user account is already an administrator.

I suggested sudo with the hopes of rooting out the problem, nothing more. :-)

Whoops. Sorry. Wrong account. One sec while I repost as myself.

(Family member asked me to try to snag a copy of Rise of the Triad 2013 while running out the door to go to class.)

haltpawn: ...and yes, it does technically work on my PC. (64-bit Lubuntu 14.04, with the tarball)

(I say "technically" because it insists on being fullscreen and my window manager is so stupid that it squashes all of my open windows onto my left-hand monitor when Wasteland does that. That forces me to run the Windows version in Wine or the Linux version inside VirtualBox to force it to run windowed.)
this is what I got with ldd

ldd: ./game/bin/Wasteland: No such file or directory
