I can test out quakespasm in the evening (for me) as I need to extract the pak file to test it (as it exitied while trying to load it).

I do have some 32bit games I'll be trying to run but I haven't looked at that yet. This is a 64bit quakespasm (as far as I know).

This is what ldd has to say about quakespasm..

Everything there looks good to me. I have since built darkplaces and have a similar experience with that.

There must be some detail in the works that I am missing.

I appreciate your input.
