I am trying to install Foldit on a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit desktop. I unarchived the file to my dirctory under home. When I go into the folder flick on the Foldit icon nothing happens except two files are generated: "install_run" and "log.txt". The text in the log file is as follows:

args passed:
'/home/doug/Foldit/Foldit'
'-dynamic'
Can't open options file options.txt. (/scratch/scooper/rosetta/src/mini-interactive-main/mini/src/interactive/application/Application.cc:75)

I have installed freeglut3 and libnss-mdns just to be sure, but that doesn't solve anything.

I would like to get running and play Foldit
