Have you installed the kernel mentioned on their site (2.6.16_1.2080_FC5) first? It would appear that the nvidia driver available from http://rpm.livna.org/ is built for this kernel.
It looks like your video driver is installed fine, but you're missing some other libraries (like the standard c++ libs) which is why Blender isn't running. Quake 3 seems to be missing a config file - maybe there's a setup program that needs to be run first?

Please help if you know how to fix it, I've spent hours searching for how to fix this error.
I'm not sure if I stuffed up my 3D graphic driver or not, but I hope it's just a quake 3 problem that can be solved.
The problem was the baseq3 folder I copied from my other computer. It had some files which cause the start up problem, not some graphic driver problem (because I double checked that my graphic driver is correct).
Just install Quake 3 but don't copy another baseq3 folder (if it have many files such as map paks) because some files in their might prevent quake 3 from starting up, which is what happened to me.
After you've installed quake 3, copy the pak0.pk3 file (which is needed to by pass the error message "Error: Couldn't load default cfg.") to the default baseq3 folder that was created by the linux quake 3 point release rpm installation file.
Once you have the pak0.pk3 file in the baseq3 folder, you should be able to play quake 3 now.
If you know how to install quake 3, then don't bother reading the bottom half of this post.
For those that don't know how to install quake 3, this is what you do:
(Assuming you have all the linux point release 1.32b-3.rpm file and the pak0.pk3 file)
1) Install the graphic driver (I used the Livna kmod-nvidia driver).
2) As root, create a directory in /usr/local/games/ called "quake3".
3) Then install the linux point release 1.32b-3.rpm that you've downloaded from the internet.
During installation, let the directory to install quake 3 be the /usr/local/games/quake3/ to keep things consistent here.
4) After the installation is complete, you should have some files in the /usr/local/games/quake3/ such as baseq3, INSTALL.txt, q3aded, quake3.x86, quake3-smp etc.
Those are fine.
5) Try to run quake 3 now. You should get a error message in the terminal, shell or command prompt (whatever you call it), saying "Couldn't load default cfg."
Now move the pak0.pk3 file to /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/
6) Try to run quake 3 again, it should work now.
. . . I hope ^.^!
********************
For the OSP and CPMA mod (if you have them and you want to play OSP or CPMA in quake 3), then just copy the osp and cpma folders to /usr/local/games/quake3/ and you're done. You should be able to choose the osp or cpma mod from inside the quake 3 game.
If you're playing on the Internet and if you see a blurring quake 3 background when you connect, it may be that you don't have the required map files.
You can put these map files you have into the /usr/local/games/baseq3/ folder if you have them on CD or you can activate "auto download" inside the game option of the quake 3 arena game.
Note:
- I'm not sure where you can get the pak0.pk3 because I got mine from the Windows version of my other computer.
- You will likely need root priveledges to move files to the /usr/local/games/quake3/ folders
- The default baseq3 folder should only have 8 files - pak0.pk3, pak01.pk3, pak02.pk3, pak03.pk3, pak04.pk3, pak05.pk3, pak06.pk3, pak07.pk3 and pak08.pk3.
Hope that works for others who have the same problem.
