the latest AGS 2.72 editor no longer works with the linux player (ags-v2_71_894.tar.bz2 921k AGS 2.71 Final Runtime (v2.71.894)).
(and probably not for the mac as well...)
And it seems there is no way to load a game back in the 2.71 editor.
Wine is not working at all with the games, and the DOS support has been disabled.
I think the only way to run games is by using vmware for ex., but it's not very conveniant.
Will the 2.72 be ported to linux one day ?

*shakes his head sadly*
Just like the Windows version, AGS v2.71 cannot run games made with AGS v2.72.
AGS v2.72 for Linux is in the works and will hopefully be released soon.
Edit:
AGS Linux v2.72 released (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29886)
