What i do bad?

Did you perhaps install it local? I always do. It's in my homefolder: /home/topywo/minetest-minetest-8f0d29f/bin.

Edit: I use file manager for Lubuntu. I start it by doublclicking the minetest executable.

How do you have installed it?

It looks to me like this was compiled to run under normal install directories ("cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0"), but not actually installed (especially since you are running from a current directory using "./minetest" instead of running from /usr/bin/minetest in the PATH). You'll either want to complete the install (something like "sudo make install" I believe) or compile the game to run from the folder where it was compiled ("cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1; make -j2").

If you have obtained a pre-compiled package from somewhere, it looks like you have just unpacked it and tried to run it in place instead of actually doing the install.

Emphasis added. Not "DID you install it," but, "HOW have you installed it?" Details would be awesome, or we're probably not going to get very far.
