[SOLVED] Installation of Enemy Territory fails

Question

Hi Archers ,
System:
Archlinux 64bit
32bit libs: (installed with pacman "What else ")
lib32-glibc, lib32-gcc-libs, lib32-alsa-lib, lib32-libstdc++5, lib32-openal, lib32-libxdamage, lib32-libxfixes, lib32-sdl
Nvidia Driver (also installed with 32bit lib support):
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.23-pkg2.run (This is the only Nvidia driver which works without graphical problems in UT2004)
Shell: BASH (uxterm)
Login: root (Please NO discussion about the risk and consequences being logined as root *THANX*)
following Problem:
I would like to play Enemy Territory but the Installer failed to install with following message:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Enemy Territory 2.60 Full Install..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
./setup.sh: line 191: /root/.setup8705: cannot execute binary file
./setup.sh: line 191: /root/.setup8705: cannot execute binary file
I started the installer with following commands but everytime the same message:
linux32 sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run
linux32 sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
linux32 et-linux-2.60.x86.run
linux32 ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
I try to change the PATH-Variable:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/lib32/lib:/opt/lib32/usr/lib
(same error message as above)
Than i tried to install an older Version (et-linux-2.55.x86.run) with following Message:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Enemy Territory 2.55...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.0
See http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/ for troubleshooting
In this case i also tried all variations of starting the binary, as above.
I also tried to extract the binary with the --keep parameter and start the setup.sh manualy (also with and without the linux32 command), but with the same results.
Is there a Problem with the LOKI installer?
Is there a lib, which i have to install?
Do i have to edit the setup.sh?
PLEASE HELP ME.......

(maybe Ati driver similar)
Download Packages:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2063 #Enemy Territory Package
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2661 #True Combat: Elite Package
change the line arch=('i686') to arch=('x86_64') in the file PKGBUILD.
makepkg (HOWTO):
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines
Sound issue:
http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/
From this Webpage:
wget -q -O - http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sou … l-sound.gz | gzip -d > et-sdl-sound && chmod a+x et-sdl-sound
start the downloaded file: et-sdl-sound , and immediately will start ET.
Via the mod menu you can switch to TC:E.
