I just downloaded a fresh copy of the Alpha client archive and unpacked it into a folder on the desktop. When I try to run the secondlife-bin or secondlife files via GUI, nothing happens. But, when I take a closer look and try to execute the secondlife file in a terminal, I get this output:

2006-02-07T21:58:07Z This can be because you somehow have multiple copies runnin g, or your system incorrectly thinks a file is open. If this message persists, r estart your computer and try again. If it continues to persist, you may need to completely uninstall Second Life and reinstall it.

Any idea what's going on? Meh, I don't want to be stuck with another day in Winblows just to use SecondLife. :(

did you tar -xf SecondLife_1_8_2_9.tar.bz2
or right click -> run some gui extraction util?
some files will be missed with some extraction utils. Dunno why.

That definitely helped, thanks for the info... never trust GUI extractors ;)

Except now, there's a different error about the color depth.
