I finally found my CD to reinstall this game. I found the case (and CD
Key) but no disc.
Anyways I got it to work.
I copied /media/Quake III/baseq3/pak0.pak to
/usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pak.
Then I extracted the point release as root and let it install. It went
through without a problem.
I ran the game as root once to see if it would play and it did.
I tried running the game as a user and it also did.
Here's the output from my user play. Maybe you can see something that
is causing it to fail on your end.
The only think I noticed on yours was that it's not scanning pak0.pak
file. Mine shows it scanning it. Yours did not.

Hi Thom,
Thanks for looking in to that.
With what you said I thought about checking the permissions on pak0.pk3
and found that only root could read it. I used chmod +r on the file and
now all users can play the game, without needing the root password
(which I feel is a good thing!
Thanks again for taking the time to look into it for me, I really
appreciate it.
-Chris
