Thilo Schulz got an infinite number of monkeys to type out:

Think I found the problem. What's that quote about 99% of problems on Linux
being perms? ;-)

Just running the ioquake3 installer:

[joehill at node1 baseq3]$ ls -l
total 527484
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    308745 Sep 16 23:11 cgamei386.so

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    296100 Sep 16 23:11 uii386.so

Running the ioquake3 installer, then running the patch installer:

[joehill at node1 baseq3]$ ls -l
total 527484
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    308745 Sep 16 23:58 cgamei386.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 479493658 Sep 17 00:00 pak0.pk3*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    374405 Sep 17 00:02 pak1.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   7511182 Sep 17 00:02 pak2.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    276305 Sep 17 00:02 pak3.pk3

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    191872 Sep 17 00:02 pak5.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   7346884 Sep 17 00:02 pak6.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    320873 Sep 17 00:01 pak7.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    454478 Sep 17 00:01 pak8.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  32900423 Sep 17 00:19 q3wpak3.pk3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    458831 Sep 16 23:58 qagamei386.so
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    296100 Sep 16 23:58 uii386.so

So, either the installer is not setting the right perms, or my systems, one
Mandriva and the other XUbuntu, both have a problem with setting the right
perms. In both cases, running the patch installer and overwriting the
pk3 files installed by ioquake3 solved the problem.

At the very least, now I know I just need to adjust the perms :-)
