I updated the linux bin package. It's still the same binary but the package includes glest.ini,some libs and a startscript (glest) now:
http://www.titusgames.de/glest_3.1.0_linux.tar.gz- this should be compatible with the former distribution because its the same binary
- the startscript writes logfiles by default. If you dont want them, edit the scriptfile.
- start glest to run the game.
- if you still have trouble with the fonts, edit glest.ini and replace the font name with "fixed"

@duke this is a 32bit binary, it needs the 32bit version of this library. It is included in the package now. Can you test it?
