Quake 4 Demo won't start...


Hey I am having trouble running the Demo of Quake 4.

These are the errors I am getting while loading:

********************
ERROR: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary libGL.so.1 failed: Could not load OpenGL library

********************
--------------- BSE Shutdown ----------------
---------------------------------------------
WARNING: rvServerScanGUI::Clear() - invalid scanGUI

idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
Sys_Error: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary libGL.so.1 failed: Could not load OpenGL library


My system is:

6800 GT AGP
AMD Athlon 3000+ 64-Bit
60GB WD HDD
1GB PC3200
Soundblaster Audgiy ZS

6800GT sounds like an NVidia based card? Are you using the NVIdia driver from the NVidia website? If so, have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check that you have lines like 'Driver "nvidia"' and 'Load "glx"'. Also you'll need to remove lines that say 'Load "dri"' and 'Load "GLCore"'.

Those are the changes I made based on the readme that came with the video driver and I'm playing the full version of Quake 4 on a 6600GT.

Here is where I had to edit when I was done with the driver installation, I don't see any dri or GLCore though...

# BusID "PCI:0:10:0"

# VideoRam 256

# Clocks 25.2 28.3

EndSection

# Device configured by xorgconfig:

Section "Device"
Identifier "6800 GT"
Driver "nvidia"
# unsupported card
#VideoRam 131072
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

maybe permissions ... or maybe the file actually doesn't exist ...

it might be a good idea to look for it with

Code:
find /some/path/ -name 'libGL.so.1' -print
hey I actually found it!!

Code:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 25 2005-11-16 16:29 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1*
$ ls -lL /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 542479 2005-09-25 19:37 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1*
mine looks useable for everyone
