****0. Get what you need
These are the packages you must first download with your package manager of choice:
build-essential subversion scons libsdl-dev libopenal-dev libglew-dev libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-regex-dev libdevil-dev libfreetype6-dev python2.4-dev *******
its been a BIG-BIG pain so far.. but it looks like i got everything installed now, EXCEPT- Devil.
ive tryed everything- google serches, fc5 rpm installs .. i tryed to do the source install, but it became a pain because i have so many dependency files to install first and half of which had bad links posted to get to them. any one have all this ZIP'd up for a novice linux user such as my self??? I love this 3d version so much when playing on windows, but i gave up windows many months ago, and promised to never look back, im tempped to just try to use wine to install the windows version; but i feel i will be cheating.. :)

any help would be great , thank you.
