OFFTOPIC: can't start Quake2
I installed Quake2 according to the instructions at
http://www.linuxgames.com/quake/Quake-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.2
but when I try to start it I get this:
lilypad:/usr/local/games/quake2->./quake2 +set vid_ref softx
Added packfile ./baseq2/pak0.pak (1106 files)
Added packfile ./baseq2/pak2.pak (2 files)
execing default.cfg
couldn't exec config.cfg
Console initialized.
------- sound initialization -------
And it stops right there. Anyone know what the problem is? The
troubleshooting section does not mention any config.cfg, which does
not even exist on my installation.
Here are the contents of my quake2 directory:
lilypad:/usr/local/games/quake2->ls -l
