Rep:
What is confusing me about the above code quote is the /windows directory...
Where did you install this thing???
The normal place is in /usr/local/games.
Did you try installing this thing to a FAT32 partition??? That might be it. FAT32 does not support permissions in the filesystem. I'd recommend installing it with the defaults...
Also, try locating the 8MB Loki-code-based GUI installer,...
Whoops, I'm thinking of the Doom 3 installer... sorry,...
Run the installer as root from a command console shell like konsole (su to root, then use sh filename to run the installer). First copy it to the HD and run it from there. Let it keep the default directories.
