[SOLVED] Problem with Neverwinter Nights game

So i followed the instructions

Install Linux binaries. i) Dowload Linux NWN binaries, for links see http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html ii) Extract the archive into your nwn directory iii) Run ./fixinstall from your nwn directory.

III) Download game resources: 1) Download NWN 1.29 game resources See http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html

2) Extract game resources to desired location.

3) Download Linux NWN binaries and language files See http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html

4) Extract these archives into the nwn directory created in step (2)

To run Neverwinter Nights, run ./nwn or ./dmclient from your nwn directory to run the player client or DM client respectively.

But everytime i try to run ./nwn or ./dmclient it opens a window for a very short period like half a second before disappearing again. Whats the problem with this game?

and when i run it in my terminal i get this message

Edit nwn file with a text editor.

Change line 10 so it looks like this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thank you so much it worked :)
