The 32-bit version crashes immediately after a failed mmap()
The 64-bit version has issues with nvidia GL libs that I didn't try to get past.
Wine just worked.
There has been some work recently with mmap and linux compat, so I will retry again when I have the chance..
Besides, last time I looked the native Linux version was still 32 bits only. KSP has many problems with 32 bits platforms.
