[quake2] Turkey Day...

[Brendan Burns]

Hmm,
that's a seg-fault...

What do the contents of your baseq2 directory look like?  (do an "ls 
-l")

can you try running it in GDB?

e.g. "gdb quake2"
"run +set vid_ref softx"

and when it crashes type "where" to get the line number...

Do you have compilers installed?  Could you try release 0.16 
(http://www.icculus.org/quake2/files/quake2-r0.16.tar.gz) and see if 
you have the same problem.

Thanks
