Well, I downloaded the snapshots of the subversion from http://uqm.stack.nl/files/snapshots/ and I was able to install successfully from that.

Wow! The game is awesome! The music and voice from the 3do version is great! It is a great pleasure to revisit this timeless classic with the additional features.

Thanks very much to all who made this possible.

Thanks so much. This is great!! Does this mean I need to download the source file again and extract and run it again? (What do I do now?)


Edit:
Thanks for the fix.

Well, I am not sure if this is the procedure but I copied the new file at http://sc2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sc2/trunk/sc2/build/unix/config_functions and wrote it over the one that exists in my harddisk. Then I rerun the "sh build.sh uqm config" command.

Unfortunately, it still gives errors. This time I cannot even get the settings menu. I get:

build/unix/config_functions: line 5: !DOCTYPE: Böyle bir dosya ya da dizin yok (<-- well this translates as "this file or folder cannot be found")
build/unix/config_functions: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
build/unix/config_functions: line 6: `"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">'
build/unix/build_functions: line 49: set_system: command not found
build/unix/build_functions: line 50: prepare_build_system: command not found

build/unix/build_functions: line 52: prepare_host_system: command not found
build/unix/build.config: line 12: have_build_tools_language: command not found

I hope this is something relatively easy to fix. Sorry for all the trouble.

Yes I am trying to install the latest version 1.6.1, which I downloaded yesterday.

I ran the command and I will send it to your email. I hope this can be fixed easily and you could let me know. I really look forward to running this great classic again after many years :-)
Cheers...

Sorry, what I meant to say was how do I check if SED is in my path? (Or how do I check if some folder is in the system paths for that matter?)

Anyway, after replacing
VALUE=$(echo "$VALUE" | $SED 's,\([\&/]\),\\\1,g')
by
VALUE=$(echo "$VALUE" | $SED -e 's,\([\&/]\),\\\1,g')

and running:
sh build.sh uqm config

I get:
Configuration complete.
Saving choices...

However, when I run ./build.sh uqm install afterward I still get the same errors:

Pardus Linux uses its own "pisi" packaging system and I wasn't able to find such a package to install uqm. I have libsdl 1.2.11 and sdl_image 1.2.5 already installed.

After running the ./build.sh uqm command I get the following error after a long list of printed lines:

In file included from src/config.h:17,

Any ideas?
