Maybe you don't have a /tmp big enougth. That's what happened to me but i don't remember if it was that error. Anyway if it is, you can edit the extract location. Just open the .sh files in vim or some editor and change that path.

Re: Extraction fails on American army and enemy territory

/tmp is a tmpfs partition, not part of /.  Check 'df' and /etc/fstab.  You can also search the forum for tmpfs to learn more about what people have to say about it.

I am using 2.3.2 with no problems. It's also easier to do TMPDIR=/home/user/somefolder sh gamename.run thats what I had to do, I also do this with big file downloads with firefox.
