Thanks, Ed, for the reply. The problem seems to be that all the binaries (that I can find) date from 1998 and don't seem to work on a more-or-less modern system like my RH72 box. I can't even get any result from "ldd foo" where "foo" is the particular quake binary I try it on. I found sources for "sdlquake" which builds and runs, but it's pretty slow (though I admit I haven't tried it using SVGAlib yet). I found an old HOWTO for building a QuakeWorld that uses GL and works on Nvidia cards, but I don't want QuakeWorld, I want plain old Quake. (you gotta be a whole lot better player than I am to expose yourself to a multiplayer quake!) And I'll eventually want QuakeII, but that comes later. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 --------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
