Hi, this is my first post but ive used the emulator for awhile.
I used windows 7 which came on my laptop for a few weeks, but now i installed ubuntu 9.10, and i like the os, but im clueless as to how to set it up. i copied-pasted the code into command prompt, and it installed, but i cant run it. i cannot figure our how to get scons installed, i dont know how to use python.
A step by step guide would be appreciated, i am a complete noob.
Thanks.

Follow this guide.

If you are too lazy to read it, do the following:
1. Open terminal
2. Paste
Code:
sudo apt-get install subversion scons g++ wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dbg libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dbg libwxgtk2.8-dev libsdl1.2-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libxxf86vm1-dbg libxxf86vm-dev libxext6-dbg libxext-dev libglew1.5-dev libcairo2-dbg libcairo2-dev libao2 libao-dev libbluetooth-dev libreadline5-dev && svn checkout http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dolphin-emu-read-only && cd dolphin-emu-read-only && scons flavor=release
3. Paste
Code:
cd Binary/Linux-* && ./Dolphin

I'm quite sure you won't have to deal with scons (you have 9.10). Also consider learning about the os you are in. I'd recommend going to your local Borders and buying a book on basic Ubuntu/Debian functions.

do you even know a little bit about linux?????????
linux is not like windows you cant just copy and paste and expect everything to run like a dream...........
in linux you compile things your self and debug (most of the time)
just go crawling back to win 7

Checkout my latest project ( it is a program that downloads and compiles dolphin on mac and linux now): http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu-downloader (It's unofficial and maintained by me, not the dolphin dev team)

i am sorry i was really angry at the moment.
anyways,
do you have wine installed? because i am not shure but there seems to be some sort of conflict. try compiling as root (so put a "sudo" without commas before every command) and running it as root (to run as root type sudo bash, than ./Dolphin)
so type this in: (in a new terminal) (note it will start prompting you for your password)
code 1 (dont type that in) cd dolphin-emu-read-only && sudo scons
code 2 cd Binary/Li* && sudo bash
code 3 ./Dolphin
srry for snaping at u

I agree with you shawnanastasio, too many Windows users going to ubuntu thinking its the same thing. I had a guy try to use exe's in debian the other day :<

Not sure whether you were being sarcastic or not, but that's just plain wrong... I've been running Linux for several years and barely need to compile anything, just the programs I'm compiling from SVN. EDIT: ok, admittedly your point was just that people expect Linux to behave and work just like Windows, fair enough. Off topic that's a reasonable assumption though, for many computer users think Windows is the only operating system available and never saw something else.

Anyways, Wiibrewer: Are you trying to run a Windows version (.exe) of Dolphin using Wine/PlayOnLinux? There are native binaries for Linux as well...

Try downloading Dolphin-Linux-i686-latest.tar.bz2 or Dolphin-Linux-x86_64-latest.tar.bz2 from http://benpico.spline.de/Dolphin/ ... the i686 one if you're on a 32 bit ubuntu, the x86_64 one if on a 64 bit ubuntu.

I tried uninstalling Game on Linux and WINE (since i dont really use them), and ran the commands as root, and i still get the same error message. Sad
Anyone else have any ideas?
if not, ill have to go back to Windows, atleast for Dolphin.

You shouldn't need to be root to run Dolphin locally. Generally, you shouldn't try something as root if it doesn't work as a normal user unless you're explicitely told to do so or know what you're doing
Just try the link to the binaries I posted, unzip them either with some graphical tool or with tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2, go to the new directory and run ./Dolphin there. That way you won't need to compile Dolphin manually...
