Since
Heretic is one of the few id games wich I have a full version copy I decided to see how I could get it running on Linux. PrBoom only seems to load up Doom II and FreeDoom so I gave up with it. Then I found this website
http://heretic.linuxgames.com/ and downloaded the X11 RPM. See what happens when I try to load it?
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/games/xheretic

It would seem it cant find a WAD file. Where does it search for one?
