hey so im trying to install N on the 64bit version of Ubuntu (9.10) but whenever i try to run it, nothing happens

running from the terminal has this output
~/Downloads/n_v1linux$ ./n_v14
./n_v14: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i looked around the forums and found that i needed to install libgtk1.2, but when i try to do that i get
sudo aptitude install libgtk1.2

Update your repositories? I'm not that experienced with Linux.

While GTK (and Ubuntu) have updated over the years, N has not. libgtk1.2 is not available in Ubuntu repo's because it's horrendously outdated.
You could try to find libgtk1.2 somewhere, and then seek out other missing pieces as they come... or you could just run the Windows version of the game through Wine, which is what I've been doing for years now.
