Can't you just use the packet.001 file directly by ScummVM?

You shouldn't need to extract it, but it uses arj format and extractor is available at http://arj.sourceforge.net. For windows peoples it can be extracted using IZArc

I think i have the answers to my problem. I read the Drascula readme.txt and it says i need scummvm 0.12.0 and i have version 0.11.1 maybe thats why scumm cant see the packet.001 file. anyways i did what billwashere said and installed a program that could extract the packet.001 files. I then extracted the files to a folder called Drascula and included the Drascula.dat file. But when i start scumm and choose the add game option and navigate to my Drascula folder i just get the answer that scumm cant find any games in that folder. And i think that`s why i need to install scummvm 0.12.0

And it is here my other problems begin. I have downloaded the source code for 0.12.0 i cd to the folder with the source code and type ./configure and it gives me this

Remove the whole ScummVM directory and start over because root has been writing there now. Do that with 'sudo rm -r /home/banan/scummvm-0.12.0'
Unpack the source again and do the following;

Instead of 'sudo ./configure' go just './configure'.
Instead of 'sudo make' do a 'make'.
When that is finished, install it with 'sudo make install'.
You don't need to be root to compile stuff, just to install it.


If this doesn't solve your prob check the bottom of the download page for the Subversion Builds.
They may have the precompiled package you are looking for. (I assume here you are compiling because you can't find the Ubuntu/Debian 64bit package.)

Well i have a 32bitsystem and i have tried the Debian 4.0 (etch) package but it gives me a libasound dependency not satisfactional or something like that error. i have checked in synaptic and i have that package installed on my system.

however i tried the latest daily build 0.14.0 and it works fine on all my games but it still gives me an error on drascula but maybe this error is easier to fix than wiping out the whole scumm directory.

the error i get is this: file Drascula.dat is wrong version. Expected 4 but got 2. get it from the scummvm website.

this is weird cause i just downloaded the Drascula.dat from the website today.can i solve this somehow or should i try your first advice and remove the whole scummvm directory and start over again with the source code?
