It sounds like you miss the content package.
Did you compile the game yourself?

"Yes" as in you compiled the game yourself?
Look at doc/users/unixinstall, in particular step 2. Did you do exactly as it says there?

Thankyou        "Meep-eep"

The problem is solved

I  did

./build.sh uqm config
./build.sh uqm depend

also made small change in the "config_unix.h" file
at line 14 it read " #define CONTENTDIR "@CONTENTDIR@"

I changed it to
#define CONTENTDIR "CONTENTDIR"

also created "packages" dir in the content folder and placed the "uqm-0.5.0-content.uqm" in there.

now everything works

Thankyou once again.
