Summary

This page describes how to setup quakeworld server on a newer (10.2) version of Slackware.

Details

Files

Please download the following files:

• Quakeworld Server
• Older Linux Libraries (Libc5) for Slackware

Package Installation

1) Run the following command to install the older libc5 package. Please note that it will be installed under "/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/":

root@localhost:~# installpkg libc5.tgz

Symlinks

1) We need to symlink the old libraries into the appropriate directory, /lib/. Please do the following:

root@localhost:~# ln -s /usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.9 /lib/ld-linux.so.1

root@localhost:~# ln -s /usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libm.so.5.0.9 /lib/libm.so.5

root@localhost:~# ln -s /usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libc.so.5.4.46 /lib/libc.so.5

Now, run './qwsv'. You should not see any library errors.
