You're missing a bunch of pak files, which need to be copied from the game CDs

startup should look like this

make sure you have read/write/access permissions to the .q4/ folder (or .quake4/, can't remember).
The fact you don't have config file shouldn't be a problem, cause the init script writes one for you if you don't have it (normally when first launched).

If the game cannot find the pak files it will error out with the following:

Code:
Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg  -  Check your working folder.
Post the output of the following command..

Code:
ls -al /usr/local/games/quake4/q4base
