I just emerged it an hour ago. I go to run it and it gives me this error:
Code:

What do I need to do for this default.cfg file to be okay so the game will run?

Secondly, can't I make a symlink so that rather than running # /usr/games/bin/quake4, I can just run # quake4 ?

check if you have the following files in /opt/quake4/4base :
Code:

The files should be copied by portage if you have the dvd in your drive and emerge quake4-bin with "cdinstall" otherwise you need to copy them manually.
Running quake4 should be possible right out of the box without creating any symlinks or whatever. Just make sure you are in the "games" group.

I believe so, I copied the files from my Quake4 PC dvd. There is no 'Linux' media, so you use the resource stuff from the WinDoze media and the Linux executable.
