I get this weird error
david@akulinux:~$ bzflag
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
Value in failed request: 0x115
Serial number of failed request: 123
Current serial number in output stream: 125
david@akulinux:~$
Is there a way to fix it?

you want to use 2.0.4 when using anything that uses GCC4+, there is no ubuntu package for 2.0.4 yet ( they haven't pulled it from debian testing ). So best it to just build from source.

I did compile it, but ... it didn't even compile right, i mean, after i went throught all the ./configure make and sudo make install
when it finished i typed "bzflag" in the command line, and it didn't work
no bash found =/

2.0.2 does not work right on GCC4 systems no mater where it is built.
get the source for 2.0.4 from sourceforge and use that. I have built and run it under ubuntu 5.10 with out issue.

Try
If it works you can add /usr/local/bin to your PATH or recomplie using
for the config step so 'make install' puts it in the default path instead of /usr/local.
AFAIK if /usr/local/lib isn't in ld.so.conf it's only the server plugins that will not work.

I'm not convinced it compiled properly. Goto the complie directory (~/Files/bzflag-2.0.4) then into src/bzflag/ and look for the file bzflag, should be approx 20 meg. If it's not there it didn't compile.
Alternatively, update your slocate database with
(may take some time) then search for the binary with
to see where, if anywhere, it was installed.

Sometimes if the required compile time file is only for the bzflag client (ie glx include files) then it doesn't generate a huge error message, just a small note at the bottom of the ./configure step telling you it's gonna build bzfs bzadmin and no client. Just run the ./configure again and look for the message telling you what is going to be built during the make step.
