    Since the prebuilt binaries don’t work in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS/Linux Mint 13, here’s a way to get it working.

    mkdir ~/source
    cd ~/source
    mkdir q2w
    cd q2w/
    git clone https://github.com/jdolan/quake2world.git
    git clone https://github.com/jdolan/quake2world-data.git
    sudo ln -s ~/source/q2w/quake2world-data/target /usr/local/share/quake2world
    cd ~/source/q2w/quake2world
    sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libphysfs-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev check
    autoreconf -i
    ./configure
    make -j3
    sudo checkinstall

    and then run the game:
    $ quake2world

    Yeah you kind of forgot sudo make install at the end. Also I could not get ./configure to work until I added libxml2-dev.

    Sudo checkinstall is basically make install but it also creates a deb file.

    -j3 can be replaced with -jnumberofavailablethreads

    Fun game, especially for free. Pretty fast paced, and scratched my Q2 itch. Trick jumps seem even easier than vanilla Q2. Virtually NO players/servers tho… Which sux a sweaty taint.
