Adding the Linux Binaries

There are four Linux Quake II packages available for download:
a libc5 tar.gz package •
a glibc tar.gz package •
a libc5 rpm package •
a glibc rpm package •
Install just one of these packages. Each contains the same files, they're just linked against different libraries.
Redhat 5.x users should choose the the glibc rpm package. Users of glibc based systems without rpm support
should use the glibc tar package. The libc5 rpm is for Redhat distributions prior to 5.0 and other distributions
that use the rpm package format. The libc5 tar.gz package is for Slackware and everyone else.
See the Download the Necessary Files section for the location of the Linux Quake II files.
Installing the RPM packages
Installation of the rpm packages should be as simple as:
su root
rpm −Uvh quake2−xxxxx.i386.rpm
Rpm may complain that it can't find libglide2x.so. The Glide library is only necessary if you have a
3Dfx card and want to run Quake II in GL mode. If you don't plan to use the GL mode, you can override the
glide dependency with the −−nodeps option:
su root
rpm −Uvh quake2−xxxxx.i386.rpm −−nodeps
Installing the tar.gz packages
To install, just untar the file in your Quake II directory. Do it as root so the proper file permissions get set:
cd /usr/local/games/quake
su root
tar −xzf qwcl2.21−i386−unknown−linux2.0.tar.gz
