Sure, the latest that practically works is at: 
http://www.croquetcollaborative.org/wordpress/?page_id=5
... you'll have to chmod +x the file "Croquet.sh" and all the binaries
in the ../bin/linuxi686/ directory. They still haven't gotten the hang
of file permissions. <grins> This one does work if you have the mesa
libs installed. It segfaults just using nVidia drivers for hardware
mesa / openGL. Maybe you can figure it out??  

.. and for anyone idly interest in virtual worlds, check this page out.
