By default, q2pro uses DATADIR as basedir and loads refresh libraries from LIBDIR. These are defined in build/pre.mk:
DATADIR = /usr/share/games/quake2
LIBDIR = /usr/lib/games/quake2

Perhaps I need to add "install" target to Makefile In case refresh libraries still do not load, try running q2pro +set developer 1 as it displays where it tries to load libraries from and what exactly goes wrong.

ok ill try. ty for your quick answer:)

Unfortunately I cannot help you much with this. Your X server refuses new connection for some reason, which likely indicates a problem with your local setup. Are you able to run other X apps from the same console? What about other SDL apps?

[upp3r]

yes, im able to run other apps. i run even basic quake2 from console. but when i try to run a q2pro it somehow cant take display:( ah, anyways, i have runned a windows q2pro through wine. no need for linux q2pro;))
