Quake 3 installation on FC5

[Deepak]

Hi,

I have downloaded the quake 3 for linux but trying to install gives me
following error:
============
Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No
such file or directory
Error in checksums: 433440451 is different from 2693581780
==========
I have tried downloading from various sources but still same error.

does this have something to do with FC5? I need some help

Thanks

 Try this before installing in a terminal do 

 export_POSIX_VERSION=199209

 then go ahead and install in the same terminal

 Hmm i'm not sure then and have been reading up on google about it as well. 
Can't seem to find any clear cut answer here.

	Hi lostson and Deepak, 

		There is no underscore ("_") between "export" and
POSIX in "export POSIX_VERSION=199209". Understand, what you are doing
here is telling the C library which version of the POSIX standard it
should emulate. I hope this helps you get Quake 3 unpacked. Later,

	Hi again, 

		My fault, you *do* want the underscore ("_"), *however*
Deepak, you need a space between "export" and the first underscore.
Sorry, 
			-David Chipman

I have tried all the combinations:

export_POSIX_VERSION=199209
export _POSIX_VERSION=199209
export POSIX_VERSION=199209

after each export when I try to
sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run
it gives me
============
Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No
such file or directory
Error in checksums: 433440451 is different from 2693581780
============

so change in result. Any clue?
By the way what is the relevance of POSIX_VERSION for some shell scripts?

Thanks

There you have a `tail` command-line incompatibility, that is well know w/
recent version of tail.

Edit the .run file and change the way it uses tail (possibly in several
places, best would be to look for "tail +" maybe), to be `tail -n 266
filename` instead of `tail +266 filename`.

The behaviour of tail has changed from fc4 to fc5.

In fc5, you can't do

tail +3 file.dat

(note the plus).

man tail, however, says that it should work...

If you have access to an fc4 installation you can
copy tail from /usr/bin and put it temporary in
a directory earlier than /usr/bin in your path.

Hm, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175907

And it works:

$ export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
$ tail +3 list.txt
3
4
5
6

In my case tail is working without exporting the above line

I can do
tail +3 <somefile.txt> or +10 <somefile.txt>
goes without problem

but trying to do
sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run
halts with previous stated problem

now I did export the _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
and
sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run
went fine

by the way what is this POSIX_VERSION is all about? This is the first
time I have faced this.

Thanks and good day
