There was a mix up on the release numbering so I have had to update the client package. If you already installed, you will be offered the update next time you refresh your package list. The new version will be required when the server is updated.

Have you used EL on that machine/account before? Do you have a servers.lst file in your "$HOME/.elc" directory? If you do and it is empty, remove the file and launch the program from the menu icon again. You should get a new copy made from the installed game data.

 

Edit: Also, did the install complete successfully?
