I tried the Linux installer but had no luck getting it to create a working installation ... so I spent a good part of yesterday trying to install things by hand (and I wrote a script along the way so that I could repeat it).
This script will download and compile all the source code (as long as you have any necessary programs installed ... it only downloads cal3d, Crystal Space, CEL and Planeshift). After it finishes then you\'ll still have to download the artwork (you can copy the art directory from a previous install attempt to speed up this process). Run the setenv.sh script to set the environment variables, run updater and then start up the client.
