I've got it working properly here as well; here are the steps to do it. Note 
that glest will not work on big-endian arches like PPC, according to the 
README.linux. It says that they're working on it, though, and that there may 
be some patches available in their forums.

unzip glest_source_1.2.1.2.zip
cd glest_source_1.2.1.2/
find -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;
cd mk/linux
bash autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
jam
cd ../../../
unzip glest_data_2.0rc1.zip
cd glest_game
cp ../glest_source_1.2.1.2/mk/linux/glest .
cp ../glest_source_1.2.1.2/mk/linux/glest.ini .
./glest

Clearly, this game is going to have to have the source repackaged; perhaps we 
can cooperate with upstream to create a Linux-ready source tarball with 
autotools and such already configured? Otherwise we'll need to maintain our 
own, since the diff from running both autotools and dos2unix would be rather 
large :- )
