Either way, check the file, and also check another file named .preenv-uid in /home/user/(?) folder make sure the numbers inside the .bar file matches with the numbers inside the uid one. If not, change it to the -uid numbers. There is a high chance that it would work after that.

Ok I have installed Settlers as .deb, .ipk, and now I have it with WebOS Games Manager. I just did what you said. I have several texture.bar files but instead of 10 i have texture9.bar and after it texture11.bar. Is that the problem? Anyway I changed the values inside the .bar file with those from the .preenv-uid. Still no change. And today I saw that I have the same problem with several other games, one of them being HAWX. I am sure it's not a corrupt installer but something else. Should I change the 11 to 10 from the textures?

Code:

ltrace -e fopen,strcmp ./settlers

(chown command and etc.) and also:

EDIT: Also I forgot to say: welcome to the talk.maemo.org .
EDIT:There you go,here is the texture10.bar . Hope that works.

I must confess that something strange happened: i tried to install with chmod ug+x filename but it didn't worked, I was also unable to gain ownership of the game ( I got that I didn't have permision), so I used chmod +rwx to install the game. The folder was containing both texture10 and 11.bar and the game would not start again. So I removed the texture11.bar and left the texture10.bar and the game started FINALLY. Now when I checked the settlers folder again the textures10.bar vanished and instead was the deleted texture11.bar with the same values as before. I am a bit curios why but I am glad that it worked. Kan I use the same textures for Hawx?(I have the same problem there. This is a longer post cause I have another question:i got and .ipk game (airhockey) and when I extract it I have 3 folders( app, images and stylesheets), an appinfo.json, an icon, index and sources.json. Do you know IF and how I can install it on my N900? Tnx in advance.

Perhaps doing this on the texture10.bar would work. And you said that you are experiencing problems in the H.A.W.X? What is it exactly? Have you tried following the wiki first?
