Well I installed quake4 according to the tutorial, but when trying to run it I get this error.

Here's my error:
alex@main:~/quake4$ ./quake4
./quake4.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? I'd hate to have to move back to windows :(

Note: I'm using 64-bit ubuntu.

Enable the repos as per this site : Ubuntu Wiki (community-edited website) (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FrontPage)

And use synaptic to install SDL. (search for sdl)

Do you have the drivers for your graphics card?

Do you have the drivers for your graphics card?
Indeed, I do.

are you 100% sure you installed the graphics drivers? Run glxgears and make sure it's all working smooth, otherwise, the only time I get those errors are when my computer is too hot. Try running the game when you first bootup. If not, it's most likely the graphics drivers. Also what vidcard? Since it's 64 bit ubuntu, did you also try running the game in a 32bit environment?
