The original file is a tar.bz2 file only. Tried to build it and it would
error out. Forget now what the problems were (several).
Then one of the guys on the suse-linux-e list, who has been building a
whole bunch of 64 bit applications built a 64 bit rpm from source. I
downloaded that and it installed just fine, except that several of the
games do not render properly. He has advised me that he has the same
problem but has no way to fix it.
