Running ldd on glquake shows it is linked to libglide.so ( or something
like that) i don't have the executable at the offi �
ce.
FROM THE QUAKE HOWTO
GLQuake is the OpenGL Quake client, the One True Way to play Quake
if you have a 3Dfx accellerator card.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To run glquake, you need a 3D card with the Voodoo, Voodoo2 or Voodoo
Rush graphics chipset on it. There are specific issues to be dealt
with if you have a Voodoo Rush card, and I won't go into them now
because frankly, I wouldn't know what I was talking about. A future
version of this HOWTO will cover Rush issues (If somebody wants to
write about Voodoo Rush issues, I'll gladly include it here).
The SVGAlib, Glide, and Mesa libraries must all be installed and
configured properly on your system for glquake to work. The following
sections will very briefly cover what you need to do to get them
going.

Yes the latest 1.4.2 . Squake was working before the upgrade. now it
does a core dump in getopts :(
???
I read in the quake how-to that squake/glquake are linked to libc5.
>From the HOWTO
The following applies the Quake I binaries (squake, glquake, and
quake.x11) only. As of versions 2.30 and 3.19 respectively,
QuakeWorld and Quake II are available in both libc5 and glibc
versions.
The Quake executables were compiled with libc5. Newer Linux
distributions like RedHat 5.1 and Debian 2.0 use the incompatible
glibc as their default C library. If you're running Quake on a glibc
system, there are a few things to watch out for:
� Both RedHat 5 and Debian 2 have libc5 compatibility packages that
allow you to run libc5-based applications. Make sure you have
these packages installed. Both distributions put the libc5-based
libraries in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib.
� Make sure Quake uses the correct libraries. Create a script like
the one below that points $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your compatibility
libraries directory before it runs Quake.
___________________________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
./quake2 +set vid_ref gl $*
___________________________________________________________________
� If you are going to compile a library like SVGAlib or Mesa for use
with Quake, it must be compiled with libc5 and friends. Simply
building a new library according its installation instructions will
result in a library that is linked against your default library,
glibc. You must ensure your new library is linked only with libc5
and libc5-based libraries so it will be compatible with Quake. See
your distribution's documentation for information on linking to the
non-default libraries.
So that's the problem :(
Hence you are wrong on both counts :)
