Re: ascii Quake

Re: ascii Quake

well i tried to install it
on the mandrake box i got lots of sigfaults and
played with some symbolic links to the librarys to see if the matching
ones already on my system worked better.
and after a while fixed that 
but now it's just like regular quake

and on the slackware box quake yelled at me about not haveing libX11.so.6
which is understandable cus i dont have x
but why was it looking there in the first place?
so i installed the slack package for that and reset the lib path
in ttyquake
and now it tells me libX11.so.6 has a invalid elf header
now its pissing me off.
so time to uninstall that package and find another way.

time to post in one of the quake groups and see what i can find.
