after a long absence from OA and such i decided i would give compiling OA another shot on my G3 imac since i have a bit more linux knowledge and a few OA versions have been released since the last time i tried.
here's the old thread from last year for reference:
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1684.0im running ubuntu 8.04 without xorg (the computer is a server after all), which only has 0.7.7 in the repos unfortunately.
hardware:
400Mhz G3 processor
128MB ram - low yes, but keep in mind there isnt much else running + im running a dedicated server that shouldnt need much anyway
also, before anyone asks..... im only planning on hosting the server for maybe 6 people max, so the low specs shouldnt matter too much.
ok now for my actual problem. after copying the relevant files from my other computer + compiling the source from svn i get this and it just sits there and wont let me connect:
ioq3+oa 1.35 linux-ppc May 20 2009

im running the client with ./oa_ded.ppc +exec server.cfg
ive also tried with +net_ip 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.222, and +set dedicated 1 to no avail
./openarena.ppc +set dedicated 1 does run though, but since i dont have xorg installed and im starting it remotely via ssh, it'll get this far then die:

Your network rate is too slow for VoIP.
Set 'Data Rate' to 'LAN/Cable/xDSL' in 'Setup/System/Network' and restart.
Until then, VoIP is disabled.

ive tried leaving the makefile as-is, tried disabling altivec support altogether, and forcing it to not compile the qvm's (which if im reading the makefile correctly it shouldnt do anyway). ive also tried the same server config on a windows box and it works beautifully so its not the config at fault.
now the question is.... am i doing something wrong, or is compiling OA in 32 bit ppc linux still broken? if so, please tell me how to remedy it, or if someone can point me to a working link to a 0.8.1 ppc linux (not osx) dedicated server binary i'd be happy to use that instead.
