Erm, what ISN'T going wrong for me! :o(

Hi People,

I seem to be having plenty of trouble here. I'm on Redhat 9, with all the latest updates (I use apt-get to get the updates). I'm using a Radeon 9500Pro with the ati GL stuff. I have direct rendering enabled, and can play things like Quake3 and SoF2 on it.

I'd really like to get this game going because it looks FANTASTIC!

I think the first error that comes up is maybe due to the ati modules/libraries?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

MidgetmanUK

P.S it also complains about GLUT. I have GLUT-3.7-10 and devel , so it should be ok...

you prolly need glut-dev package

MidgetmanUK · Post by **MidgetmanUK** » Tue Oct 14, 2003 5:56 pm

Negative.

A querie on glut-devel gives:
glut-devel-3.7-12

Any other ideas?

hmm.....I think I may have had this problem when I first tried on RH9.....I've forgotten what I did to fix it, or whether it was a config problem that was fixed by someone...:-/ actually, I think it was the latter, so sorry, can't help you there (got nVidia anyhow

)

but the most common cause of those problems for me is that I have missing packages...make sure you've got the xfree devel packages too...and that you actually have the glut files (maybe installing the ati stuff moved them to another dir/name?)

Damn, still no joy...

My glut libs are in /usr/lib

I have all the latest devel packages (when i installed redhat, i chose "everything", and have since updated everything.

This is really starting to **** me off

I know it's not the vega teams fault - things cant be made to work for everything.

If anyone knows how to solve these probs, please please please help - I was a huge fan of frontier first encounters... and this game looks 100 times more gorgeous!

i am havaing the EXACT problem on Slackware9.1, getting almost the same output you did. find a way to fix it?

MidgetmanUK, you could try the rpm:s.
They are no links to them in the files section, but you can find them here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=186296

MidgetmanUK · Post by **MidgetmanUK** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 3:02 pm

Thanks for the response. I'll try the rpms and let you all know how it went.

Kind regards,

MidgetmanUK

It wooooooorks!!!!!

The rpm installs gave a dependancy error - about OpenAL. I think this was because in the list of dependancies, they actually spelt OpenAL with capital letters, but my rpm database has lower case "openal"?

I dunno. Anyways, I forced an install, and all is good. Thanks for the help!!!!!!

Great!

My OpenAL pakage is "OpenAL" in my db... that line should probably be removed from the .spec file then

Oh well
