X11 Quake on Slackware 7.1

[Muzzafarath]

I'm running XFree86 4.0.1 on Slackware 7.1. I'm trying to get X11 Quake (1) to run. I've installed Quake in Windows, upraded to version 1.06 and downloaded X11 Quake (and put all of the files in the correct places). Whenever I try to start it, I get a segmentation fault http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif I've looked in the readme file for the X11 version, and it recommended the -nosound and/or -nocdaudio switches if it segfaulted on you (note: my soundcard (uses the es1371 driver) and my CDROM-drive are both working under Linux). So I start it like so:

# ./quake.x11 -nosound -nocdaudio

And I _still_ get a segfault. Anyone know what could be wrong? Well, at least it starts now :P (it didn't under SuSE 6.4).

Which binaries did you get? I know the original id ones were Libc5, not glibc, and thay may be causing your problems.

[Muzzafarath]

I think I've got the libc5 binaries (the readme says that it requires libc 5.2.18 or later). Where can I get the glibc binaries? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif Or perhaps the source code for X11 Quake so I can compile it myself?

You can download the quake souce from ftp.idsoftware.com/source. I don't know if there are any glbc binaries though, if you do find them please tell me because I'm havin the exact same problem.

tried linuxquake.com (http://www.linuxquake.com) ?

[ph34r]

There are no glibc binaries, although there is quakeforge.net - they are continuing the development of the Quake game for linux.

go here (ftp://ftp.linuxmafia.org/pub/Slackware-7/quakeforge-0.1.1) and get the quakeforge package compiled for slackware 7. Just move the binaries into your quake dir to use them.

Thanks a lot TheGimp and ph34r, the QuakeForge binaries work GREAT! Okay, cdaudio doesn't work and the mouse behaves funny in the SVGA version, but I suppose you can't have everything http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif If I can just get my ethernet card working I can beat my friend in Quake in Linux too http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif
