Turns out the reason I couldnt install it was because my deb file was corrupt. I downloaded it again and now everthing works. My only gripe now is that it seems to be the shareware version. I have Quake Trilogy so I was using my files for the other sdlquake MMC and it would load the full game from my quake folder. How can I get this version to load my pak files?

Thank you a million for all of your help and to anyone else that can help.
