The install went OK for me also. I changed the location for the bin while 
using the install wizard. I created the new directory in another shell 
though.
Except for a few crashes (I let the bug reports go back to Google 
automatically), it works even better than the windows version in some ways. 
Nice of Gooogle to explain the crash reporting and give you options.
I like the virtual joystick and grabable compass. Takes some practice not to 
over control the joystick. I find the newer Linux version easier to navigate 
with and pirouette, etc.

 Day late hitting send, oh well
