anybody know what this means. I downloaded linux doom and now i thought all I had to do after I untarred it was run ./xdoom and voila!!...but apparently it is gonna be a lot harder than that.

Can anyone help a newbie?

ok here is the deal. I downloaded the so called "complete linux doom" from zdnet. I untarred it and have a dir called doom-1.8 with the following files:


README
README.config
README.dos
README.linuxs
README.linuxx
doom1.wad
libvga.so.1@
libvga.so.1.2.0*
sdoom*
sndserver*
xdoom*

So I figured I would just type ./xdoom or ./sdoom and it would work, but I get the following error message

"cannot execute binary file"

I did the chmod +x xdoom, but still get the same results. anybody got any suggestions?
