Hi! if your new to Linux, you probably found out by now that it's hard to get GE to work on linux. This is because, on most linux versions, (Ubuntu is one of the main distros that everyone always talks about so I'm going to use Ubuntu as an example), they come with Installation errors which is caused by scratched discs, or fingerprints. But they can also be caused by incorrect / Too fast of a burning speed. Anyways, what it does it, it leaves out a file called "libstdc++.so.5", which is needed to run Game Editor. You can fix this easilly, simply click one of these links! (These work on ubuntu from 8.04 up to 9.10)
After you install the DEB package, Game Editor should work perfectly
