Olaf,

Related to what Roberto wrote above about the shared libraries, here is
how I would create the .orig.tar.gz :

sh legends_linux-0.4.1.42.run --noexec --keep --nox11 \
 --target legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/libSDL-1.2.so.0
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/libSDL-1.3.so.0
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/libogg.so.0
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/libvorbis.so.0
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/libopenal.so
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/OPENAL32.DLL
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/ReadMe_legals.txt
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/runlegends
rm legends-0.4.1.42/legends_release/install.sh
tar czf legends.tgz legends-0.4.1.42
rm -rf legends-0.4.1.42
