there are permission problems:
if I translate "Brak dostępu" the right way you are not allowed to create symbolic links ...

How did you install? Did you use the installer for linux 32bit?

[tomreyn]

Make sure the filesystem you are installing on is one which supports symbolic links, i.e. ext2, ext3, ext4, btrfs will be fine, but not vfat (fat32) or ntfs.

Yes, you're right. "Brak dostępu" means access denied.
The game works, when I type command with "sudo" in terminal. But I didn't work out yet, how to change the owner of files in catatogue of the game. Nautilis (even in root mode) don't want to cooperate in this case :/

[rames_pl]

I installed it once again, this time as a "normal user", not as root.
Problem resolved. Everything work exellent 

[tomreyn]

Right, you missed to read the installation instructions contained in the README file (which the installers display, and which the website also points to) which state that you are not supposed to install as root when using our installers:

You need not and should not run the installer as the administrative user (root) or via sudo, but as a normal (restricted) user.

[Dritominous]

Used root when not needed?  Yep, sounds like an Ubuntu user to me.

[softcoder]

Never use Admin? Yup sounds like a windows user

I never said never.
