Quake 4 installation problem

[jdix123]

Hi.

I followed the zerowing/idgames howto to install Quake 4. That is, i copied the pk4 files to /usr/local/games/quake4/q4base and then downloaded the 1.4.2 (latest) installer script from the website, but when I run it I get

:/usr/local/games/quake4$ sudo sh quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run
Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: d7e664bd1f0d892ca59d33e27218dbe0 is different from 3838acf174131d21b16045efa2b599fd

However when I checked the checksums on the howto page, I didn't see either of those two entries. Amy I just missing something obvious?

Kubuntu 8.04
AMD Sempron 2800+
1024 MB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600

I know Im not really helping, but try older version of the linux installer.
it worked brilliantly for me.

Check the actual installer's checksum with the ones on the page using md5sum:

md5sum quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run

If it's wrong, then you'll need to re-download.

Also, try running it with bash instead of sh:

sudo bash quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run

In Ubuntu, sh is linked to a bash workalike called "dash" which sometimes gives problems. Calling bash directly gets around that.
