If you'd like a ready to compile distribution of QuakeWorld that
has this HOWTO's procedures performed on it already, then you
can download it at:
http://www.comptechnews.com/~reaster/index.html#games
Otherwise ...
It seems that the glqwcl.glx binary available at least
at www.quakeworld.net
in the package qwcl-2.30-glibc-i386-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz
is not compiled properly since on startup, it looks
for libglide2x.so.
QuakeWorld clients come in several flavors:
- OpenGL:
glqwcl (3dfx only?)
glqwcl.glx (MesaGL/XFree4)
- Software only:
qwcl (svgalib)
qwcl.xl1 (x11/svgalib)
If you happen to have an Nvidia card and are interested in a
complete HOWTO for installing the Nvidia drivers and an
assortment of OpenGL libraries (GLU, glut, Qt, OpenGL man pages),
then see the NVIDIA-OpenGL-Configuration_miniHOWTO at:
