Quake3 compiling snag!

[CheapAlert]

For some reason, i've hit a snag that I and my quake buddies have no clue what's going on. Most say it's nasm not being installed, but it is installed (apt-gett'd)

Attempted but still failed:
- reinstalling nasm
- chmodding all folders and files to 777
- chmodding ./unix/cons to +x
- compiling other q3 engine distros like nxabega
- running with sudo
- running with sudo su -p


cs@c950ubuntu:~/oasrc/quake3-1.32b/code$ sudo cons -- gcc=gcc-2.95 g++=g++-2.95
sh: /lib/libc.so.6: Permission denied

cons: script errors encountered: construction aborted

Also on a clean unpacking of fresh q3a source, it just simply says "access denied" whenever i try to ./unix/cons. I'm really supposed to use ./unix/cons instead of just cons really.

If anyone wants to try to figure this all out out, here's the Q3A 1.32b source (http://www.planetgargoyle.com/openarena/quake3-1.32b.zip) licensed under the GNU GPL.

Hi,

Try using the icculus.org sources:
http://www.icculus.org/quake3/

Or try one of my precompiled binaries for Ubuntu:

Good luck,
