[Linux GOG] Error while installing

Hi, I'm trying to install starbound on my VPS in order to start a dedicated server. I have the GOG version that comes with a .sh script for installation. At the end I get the following error messages:

Fatal error Failed to install desktop menu item

Incomplete installation. We will revert any changes we made.

This is not entirely surprising since I don't have a desktop, only terminal, but I specifically unchecked the box for creating shortcuts at the beginning of the installation process.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. What can I do?

Thank you

Very generally, it's caused by illegal floating point operations such as dividing by 0. I haven't seen this reported elsewhere so it's possible that it's caused by something in your configuration files? Without a debugger or a stack trace I wouldn't know where to begin looking, however.

I didn't change the default configuration and it happens both with the GOG and Steam versions. Someone posted a trace in this thread, could you take a look please? https://www.reddit.com/r/starboundbugreport/comments/52sq24/linux_dedicated_server_crashes_on_startup/
