Ok, i downloaded a bunch of GNU GPL games (and some on other licences, but thats another story.. i'm not going to edit them or distribute them anyway so that really makes no difference).

I am having some *major* problems getting them installed. As far as i can tell, these are compilation problems, but i am unsure!

General game installation tips don't seem like they will help me here! So what i am going to do is list a detailed(however to-the-point) description of the problem and some information that may help solve it.

If it is not too much hastle(i only need this on about 3 games and i can get the rest done... they all have similar errors), it would be GREAT if ANYONE can give me a pointer as to how to fix THAT problem! Like i say, they have about 3 sets of errors, and about 3 games will solve the rest!

I have nothing to hide and will give you any system information you need to help solve my problem.

Any and ALL help is greatly appreciated... minimal or complete. I am new to linux (although not UNIX, but linux has proven a little different), so maybe this is a REALLY simple problem!
