I know this is a post for the DDNet forums, but no one over there seems to be able to figure this out. So I play a European game called DDNet, I'm trying to reinstall the game. But when I try to run it, I get an error saying: Failed to execute child process /Insert/path/here (No such file or directory)

Someone suggested that I install some dependencies so I installed the ones that they suggested: sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libfreetype6-dev

But to no avail as I got the same error. So I installed another dependency:

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0

But STILL I can't get it to work! I have the file set as an executable so that's not the problem. Can someone please help me?

I repeated the steps as per my earlier comment, but now in an Ubuntu 16.04 x86 VM in VMplayer. Again I had to sudo apt install libSDL2-2.0 but then I was able to start the game:

So I don't know what you did, cleaned or otherwise removed that now causes the missing libGLU.so.1.

I now proved 2 times that the game starts on a fresh Ubuntu (with the exception of having to install libSDL2-2.0), so I stop further assistance and I end with advising you to do a clean install of Ubuntu on your computer.

Try running the following commands in a terminal:

sudo apt install -f    
sudo apt update    
sudo apt upgrade    
sudo apt install *
