new to the mac and have a q3 install question

[m1a2x3x7]

ok ive been reading up on this installing q3 on the mac and the only way ive gotten q3 to run is using the icculus.org download and i can get q3 to run and i install pb but when i go to a pb enabled server it says that i dont have q3 installed.

what am i doing wrong?

do you have a legit purchased version?
if so, next step is to grab the g4 patch from here:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3 ... t2.pkg.sit

infact, rather than repeat a heap of stuff, read this:
