Hello, I'm running ubuntu linux, and I have the quake 4 dvd. I put all those .pk4 files to /usr/local/games/quake/qbase, i ran the installer, but when I go to run the game I get the following.

I recopyed the files, I redid the installer but nothign seems to work. Am I missing a file or something?

The only stuff I could find is about permissions on the install directory. Are you the owner of the installed files and can you write to the directories?

I made my self owner and gave my self all permissions to the folder /usr/local/games/quake4, but i still get the same thing. Is there another directory that i need to change?

No, I have the program files installed there and I start it up with ~/bin/quake4. Here's the top level quake4 directory:
