I assume you have installed the package build-essential.Are you compiling on 64 bit?

[rajeev1204]

"!!!WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!"

Run Quake Live!

What has this got to do with the OP's question ?

[auroraa9420]

I assume you have installed the package build-essential.Are you compiling on 64 bit?

yes im runing it on 64 bit

[DoktorSeven]

Where did you get the source? Possible that the original id supplied source will not compile on 64bit.

Try the one from Icculus http://icculus.org/quake2/ or another source update.

still i have the same problem as before

I have changed the link its http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/debian.htm (http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/debian.html)l

Downloads

The most recent versions of the binary packages are linked.
If you want an older version or the packages sources (to build your own packages for another architecture or whatever) look here (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/).

Newest stable version:
yamagi-quake2: i386 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/i386/yamagi-quake2_2.11-1_i386.deb) amd64 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/amd64/yamagi-quake2_2.11-1_amd64.deb)
quake2-data (still old version): all architectures (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/all/quake2-data_16_all.deb)
yamagi-quake2-addons: i386 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/i386/yamagi-quake2-addons_1.1_i386.deb) amd64 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/amd64/yamagi-quake2-addons_1.1_amd64.deb)

For your convenience I created tarballs containing the latest version of all three packages for amd64 und i386.
Newest stable version:
All-in-One package for i386 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/yamagiq2-allinone-i386.tar.gz)
All-in-One package for amd64 (http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/debs/yamagiq2-allinone-amd64.tar.gz)

Installation

After you have downloaded the packages you want to install, you may install them via
$ dpkg -i /your/path/to/packages/PACKAGE.deb
where PACKAGE.deb should be replaced by the package you want to install, for example "yamagi-quake2_1.05-1_i386.deb".
You need root privileges to do this, so become root or place "sudo" in front of the command.

The executables and game libs will be installed to /usr/lib/games/yamagi-quake2/.
The game data (levels, videos, ...) are expected to be located in /usr/share/games/quake2/

For further information (on how to install the game data etc) see /usr/share/doc/yamagi-quake2/README.Debian and /usr/share/doc/yamagi-quake2-addons/README.Debian after installing the package(s).

If you have full version you can place them at /home/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/.quake2

Hi All,

Most mods were never ported to linux and are unplayable with the native linux client, since they use the game.so and not the game86.dll.

If you are like me and you desperately want to play native q2 but still want to play some of those mods, a really nasty - but working way is to do the following:

copy the pak files into a folder and install the yamagi and
q2-3.20-x86-full.exe patch for quake2 (this contains all the required dll's and exe's). install the mods as per usual to the /usr/share/games/quake/blah directory.

run the quake2.exe with wine as a dedicated server with +set game blah

then use the native linux client to connect to the game.

Ugly, but it works.

g


edit - also it probably wont like connecting to "localhost" if you are not connected to a network, simply use 127.0.0.1
