I had to use the following, using the full path to /sbin/getcap since /sbin isn't on my $PATH:

#!/bin/sh
LNP_DIR=$(dirname "$0")
cd "${LNP_DIR}"

#Check whether Dwarf Therapist can read from DF memory:
dt_capabilities=$(/sbin/getcap LNP/utilities/dwarf_therapist/DwarfTherapist |cut -f2 -d"=")
dt_capabilities=${dt_capabilities:=0}
if [ ${dt_capabilities} != "cap_sys_ptrace+eip" ]; then
        msg="Enable Dwarf Therapist to read from Dwarf Fortress memory"
        xterm -e "echo $msg;sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=eip LNP/utilities/dwarf_therapist/DwarfTherapist"
fi

#run Lazy Newb Pack
java -jar lazy-newbpack-gui-0.5.3-SNAPSHOT.jar


Any linux progress?  I keep thinking about playing this game again but I always remember most of my favorite tools don't run easily on linux.

If my urge becomes great enough, I might mess around with a Python/PyGTK equivalent, and make a Gentoo ebuild (maybe .debs, who knows) for it.
