#error You now need to define either FIXED_POINT or FLOATING_POINT

Hi,
I am trying to compile ioauek3 on our IBM PowerPC machine that is running with a Linux environment.

I got this error:
#error You now need to define either FIXED_POINT or FLOATING_POINT

I found that many say the fix is:
make speex-reconf

I downloaded:
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/speex/speex-1.2rc1.tar.gz

I unpacked it. Then, ran a "make". Since, I have no "install" privileges, I just ran a "make".
Then, I did a "make speex-reconf".
I got a load of output.

I went back to my ioquake3 folder, and did another "make". But, still the error wouldn't go away.
What am I missing here?

I am very new to Linux.
