# ioquake3 failed to install in void linux

Something simmilar has been posted, but it is not the same error, and it was over 2 years ago.

## What have I done?

first, I extracted the .iso file, then I downloaded the engine and the data installer. I then moved the 2 `.run` files into the extracted .iso folder. After that I executed:

```auto
sudo sh ioquake3-1.36-7.1.x86_64.run

```

and I got this result:

What should I do? (thanks in advance)

I’d recommend installing a ioquake3 test build and running it manually from a terminal. All the installer adds is a menu option (no idea if that still works). (Except [test builds](https://ioquake3.org/get-it/test-builds/) are currently down so you have to compile it yourself.)

Bots are broken in 2009 stable for GNU/Linux x86\_64 and the uninstaller doesn’t work leading to a [great workaround for uninstalling](https://discourse.ioquake.org/t/install-problems-18-04/1136/4).

Which version of Void Linux do you use? glibc or **musl**? If running musl version, there is no other way but to try to compile ioquake3 yourself I think. As build with installer is for sure compiled with glibc
