Installation fails on Suse 11.2

Edit: Switching to Ubuntu, no need to answer, unless others have this problem too.

Just want to report an error when I try to install Crossover Games trial on Suse 11.2:

kurtosis@linux-fu81:~/Download/Software/Crossover> sudo sh install-crossover-games-demo-8.1.4.sh

The DISPLAY variable is not set. You should either login as root, or use one of "gksu", "kdesu", or "su" with no flags, to make sure setup has an X display to use.

The setup program seems to have failed on Linux / x86 / glibc-2.9.
Check the system requirements at:

You might be missing the 32bit compatibility libraries.
If this is the case, you may try running one of the following commands as root:
Fedora:        yum install glibc.i686 libgcc.i386 libSM.i386 libXi.i386 zlib.i386
Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns

I tried the .rpm package too (open with Package Manager, and open with Install Software), but get the following error both times:

failed to get supported types for the backend: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

Any suggestions how to fix these? Thanks!
