Is this installed off a CD/DVD or a download?

It seems that it's not copying the file from dirtsand.sample.ini to dirtsand.ini

So for:

su - dirtsand

su - dirtsand


Edit: Better yet ...

Currently stuck after getting so far tonight. Got up to

DIRTSAND is configured from a dirtsand.ini file placed in the execution directory for DIRTSAND. It needs to be adjusted to connect to your database, to have all the appropriate RC4 keys, which DIRTSAND can automatically generate for you:

OK, installed all the items on that page. tried downloading and installing LibReadLine, ZLib, and OpenSLL, but apt-get can't find them.

Found all the Libs except for the PostgreSQL development packages unless you mean the cross-distribution packages. If you want to see what I mean go to postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/. The only other thing I found is the Ubuntu PPA (what ever that means) on the same page.
