I also have Q3A Arena Gold edition for mac, but so far I had no luck running it under osx (10.3.2).
It only runs in Classic.
Anyone have a tip?
Thanks,

Last time on loadrunner,
Guys you should go to
www.quake3world.com. Their mac forum facts will explain exactly how to install q3a in os x.
And now the conclusion of loadrunner,
I think your absolutely right Krevinek. No one read my post. If they did they would have all the information they need to install q3a. I think of my self as being a nice generous guy so.. I took my own advice. I went to
www.quake3world.com. LOOKED IN THE MAC SECTION. Low in behold I found the faqs. (
http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum21/HTML/004500.html? ) Then I took my mouse, in clicked on the little arrow pointing down. This is called scrolling. I kept scrolling till I found Canis post on how to install q3a. BTW Canis is the mac moderator for q3w. He is a great guy. AND I QUOTE:

How do I install the latest Quake3 on my mac?
First of all it is recommended that you upgrade your OS to the latest version (OS X 10.3.1 right now). The latest Quake3 update (version 1.32) is only available for OS X and can be obtained from here:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/mac/Quake3-132.pkg.sit .
There is also G4 optimized version available here:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/mac/Quake3-132-AltivecTest2.pkg.sit .
[note ftp.idsoftware.com is the name of the id ftp site.]
Download the appropriate installer mentioned in the above text and install quake. A resulting Quake3 directory should be in your Applications folder. In this folder there should be a "baseq3" directory and a Quake3 application file (either "Quake3.app" or "Quake3 G4.app"). From here insert your Quake3 CD (windows, linux, or macintosh--it doesn't matter) into your CD-ROM drive and copy the file "pak0.pk3" from the "baseq3" directory on the CD to the "baseq3" directory that is in the Quake3 folder on your hard drive.
[remember there is a search command in os x, if your having trouble locating pak0.pk3 use it]
In the baseq3 folder you should now have at the veary least "pak0.pk3" through "pak8.pk3."
Now go to the Quake3 folder that is on your hard drive, double-click the Quake3 application to start Quake, and go frag some folk!

Note there is no other way to install q3a for the mac. Sorry for the cranky post, I have a cold. If your up for a game aim me i'd be happy to show you the ropes.
