I am a newbie who has just discovered the delights of Linux (Sorry but I
normally use Risc-OS, and I am Win-phobic).  I have managed to install Linux
from the 4 disc Red Hat CD collection.  It went in very nicely and we (my
son and I) could run X-windows and various games (I am not confident to
attempt major set ups just yet).  However we could not get Doom to run. 
Here is copy of what happens

root@pioneer /root]# /usr/games/rundoom
Can your computer support sound? [n] n
Sound Support: 1
X windows support: 0
sdoom: can't load library '/usr/lib/libvga.so.1'
        Exec format error
sdoom: can't find library 'libvga.so.1'

Now I have checked /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 and it does exist, and it is pointer
to another file that also exists, /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.9.  I have used ln
to re-link the file and checked PATH and used printenv to check the
environment system and realise that now I need help.

So, help, someone!
