2 big questions. The first is when I run the ./start.sh I get this error:
Computer:~/GOG Games/X3 Terran War Pack$ ./start.sh
Running X3: Terran War Pack
Language detected: English
./X3TC_config: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've been googling around trying to figure out how to find this file and get it installed. One post said to download the libgtk2.0-0 file and install it, so I tried to do that but the computer tells me that the newest version is already installed and nothing get's upgraded.

I also saw a post saying that to remove the LIB folder, so I tried just renaming that (rather than deleting it), but that didn't make any difference either.

I'm not sure what else to try with this.

I can run the x3tc_main file manually and the game will run, but I don't get the config menu. If I trun the x3tc_config file absolutely nothing happens. I get this:
computer:~/GOG Games/X3 Terran War Pack/game$ dir
01.cat 10.cat Online\ Registration.url
01.dat 10.dat res.dat
02.cat 11.cat scripts

09.dat mov
computer:~/GOG Games/X3 Terran War Pack/game$ ./X3TC_config
bash: ./X3TC_Config: No such file or directory

The funny thing is that it says the file doesn't exist, but you can see it right in the directory list.

The reason I wanted to run the config file was that I have 2 monitors and I don't like the way the game comes up split over the two, with the center of the game being right at the split between the 2 monitors.

Can someone tell me how to remove that and only run on 1 monitor? I've been googling like crazy and haven't been able to figure that out. In case you couldn't tell I'm new to linux and still learning as I go.

Thanks.

According to the store page of the game, it comes with a 32-bit binary only, but your Linux distribution is most likely a 64-bit system, so you need to install the 32-bit version of every library required.
I'm not sure if you are following the correct steps to install libgtk2.0: the correct procedure depends on the distribution you are using. As a reference, here you can read a guide for Ubuntu.

The funny thing is that it says the file doesn't exist, but you can see it right in the directory list.
That file is most likely missing the executable permission: the file is there, but it can't be run. You can set the file to be executable issuing the following command from the same directory:

chmod +x X3TC_config
