When you install ET on x86_64, you will see "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / unknown".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Id soft said :
If you are running Linux on a 64 bit CPU (such as AMD's Opteron), and if your system is backwards compatible so that it can execute 32 bits x86 binaries, then the regular Quake III Arena binaries should work (your mileage may vary).
It's likely that the installer scripts will get confused though, and will refuse to install giving you an error: "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / unknown". You will have to extract the game files manually by passing --keep on the command line when running the setup script. Once the files are unpacked, you will need to copy them manually to /usr/local/games. You probably want to have a working installation to refer to while doing this. This also applies to RTCW and ET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just unpacked it, and you can find setup.sh.
Edit it.
In line 49, change $arch into "x86"
./setup.sh
you will install ET with no problem.
