I'm having some trouble figuring out multiplayer servers under Linux. I try to run the files in the archive, but i get nothing.
A window should open. What happens when you run it under the terminal?
Games/desura/common/ensign-1/SawkrenServer: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt-get install libjpeg
