GUID backport problem for Linux

[DaNoob]

I've searched all over this board for the solution to my problem but I haven't been able to find it.  I've been playing trem for quite awhile.  Now there's a server I play on that requires a GUID.  So I downloaded the Linux executable from http://dretchstorm.com/dretchstorm-files/downloads/backport/linux/tremulous.x86.  I'm running FC6 and my current trem executable is located at /usr/bin/tremulous.  So I put that downloaded tremulous.x86 file in /usr/bin/, renamed it 'tremulous', and chmod +x'd it.  But now executing that at the command line gives me this:

Anybody know what the issue is?  I'd appreciate any help.

/usr/bin/tremulous

How the hell did it get there?
And what is that shit about

/usr/bin/base

That is a totally borked install.
Please remove it and grab the install from tremulous.net then exchange the stock binary with the one from DS.

you have to replace the tremulous client, not the shell script that starts it. the tremulous client can't be placed in /usr/bin because it expects to be in the tremulous install dir.

OK, so where's the tremulous client?

/usr/bin/tremulous

It got there from an RPM installation, I forget now which repository.  Wasn't my decision to put it there. 

I'm downloading the installer now.  I'm assuming my current settings won't be overwritten, will they?  I'm assuming the stuff in ~/.tremulous will stay as is after running the installer.

if you installed tremulous with the installer on tremulous.net, i could tell you, but since you didn't you'll have to figure it out yourself (opening up the shell script that starts tremulous is a good place to start)

[Undeference]

/usr/bin/tremulous is the actual binary. The data is installed in /usr/share/tremulous/. You could have the new client at /usr/share/tremulous/tremulous and have a shell script at /usr/bin/tremulous. Everything should work right like that, except 'rpm -V' will complain (and something might get screwed up if there is an updated package, but I don't think FC6 is supported any longer so that is unlikely).

[Odin]

Reinstall Tremulous with the official installer. Games should always install to /usr/local/games/, because the package manager never touches that location(modifying installed files from packages can mess up the package manager).

Do not use any binary you find on the internet except the one from trem.tjw.net, unless you know what you're doing. TJW's binary is known to work without issues.
