This can be caused by a missig pak file too! I used to get very
simliar errors ( especially about default.cfg etc ) then I realized
those pak files are actually packages containing many files.
Mounting my quake 3 cdrom and making a symboling link had resolved my
trouble
ln -s /mnt/cdrom/system/pak0.pak ~/baseq3/pak0.pak
was something like that. The idea is to make that file put in your
hard drive. I made a symbolic link not to loose space, thanks to ext2
:)
