Wow 1.16 is really old install file the latest version is 1.32b with punkbuster.

Is there a reason for that old of a version? There maybe a problem
with using 1.16 since it was based on older libs.

You can download from ID,then use the installer.

I use the punkbuster updater.

[lagagnon]

The permissions on that binary run file are probably not set correctly. Type "ls -al" in that directory. What are the permissions. If not executable type "chmod u+x linuxq3apoint-1.16n.x86.run".

[acous]

the reason I want to install 1.16 is that I play on 1.16 servers (in Windows). This binary is from a link on a quake forum. I will try 1.32 also.

lagagnon, i tried your commands and now it is the same error when I install as root as when I tried as user.

 

what did you mean with "older libs" what is libs?

[bigpaws]

Do you know that if you upgrade from 1.16 up to 1.32b that
the older servers running 1.16 will not be seen.

I didn't even realize that there were servers running 1.16.

lib stands for libraries

You may have a bad file as well:

http://www.bluesnews.com/files/idstuff/quake3/linux/linux32116j-beta.shtml

and

http://browse.files.filefront.com/Quake%203%20Arena%20Official%20Patches%20Windows/;178667;/browsefiles.html

may get you a replacement patch for the 1.16

[jklslvch]

theres a patch to install the windows CD to linux i forgot the link though but look around for it its supposed to be the latest patch with the installer for the win version of quake3

[jklslvch]

http://ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/linux

thats the link i was talking about

and this is the file:

File: linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run     30200 KB     10/02/2003     12:00:00 AM

i havent tried to install it yet because Q3 wont fit on my partition but im going to resize it


heres a link that i found on installing Q3 in linux

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=252074

What u need:
3D acceleration enabled
A copy of the Quake3 game (in CD format or ISO )


1) Download the file linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run from http://ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/linux

2) Make it executable:
CODE
chmod +x linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run


3) Run the installer and follow the prompts:
CODE
./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

user posted image

4) By default the game will install on /usr/local/games/quake3

5) Now u need to copy some files from yor CD (or ISO, use loopback to mount the image) to yor game dir:
CODE
cp /mnt/cdrom/Quake3/baseq3/* /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3


6) After that done run
CODE
quake3
from console

enjoy
