  1. Sometimes people put things I want in .zip formant and I have no idea how to open it up under linux. I also have no idea how to open up .bz2 stuff either. [moved from Software by spinynorman]
  2. I went and downloaded mandrake 10.1 download edition, I managed to burn cd one to a blank cd, but then the next one will not burn. Opening and closing the program and trying a different cd does not help. It seems to pass the md5 check alright. Well, acctually, if I try to burn cd 1 again it will not burn either. It says cdrecord gives me unknown error 255 and then Unknown Error 255.
  3. I fixxed it, I installed the matching devel rpm from the SDL site. Of course the old save games don't run under the new version of wesnoth, but it isnt' like I care at this point.
  4. I managed to fix my problem with libSDL_image-devel by finding a package for mandrake 10.0, unfotunatly, when I try to install the dev version of mixer for mandrake 10.0 I get this error. Some package requested cannot be installed: libSDL_mixer1.2-devel-1.2.5-3mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied devel(libsmpeg-0.4)) do you agree ? I considered useing the rpms from the SDL site, but if I install the devel from there then it gives me an erro message when I try to compile wesnoth. It says SDL_mixer not found. But if I were to uninstall the mandrake one then I would have to uninstall all the game rpms I have now, so I hate to do that since I might lose save games.
  5. acctually, I fixxed the missing libSDL.so problem by downloading and installing libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk.i586.rpm. I finnally figured out I probably have mandrake 10.0 installed here. I compiled and installed the SDL_image-1.2.4. However, the game (Battle for Wesnoth) still will not compile. It gives me the same errior *** SDL_image include files not found! I'm not sure about your insane compiler, my compiler passed the sanity check.
  6. okay, I downloaded the source for SDL_image-1.2.4, but it won't compile. It says it is missing usr/lib/libSDL.so, I go to my usr/lib directory, and I find libSDL.so is linked to a file that does not exsist. I seem to have an earlier version of it though, but I can't seem to change the link or rename the file.
  7. I just downloaded a really neat looking game. (www.wesnoth.org) I try to compile the thing, and tells me that I need to intall the sdl libraies. I go download the sdl llibrary rpms, and it says I already have them installed (earlier .mdk versions) so what am I doing wrong? I think I have mandrake 9.1. [moved from Software by spinynorman]
  8. I somehow managed to download some rpm for mandrake and install it. Then I went to my brand new Ultima Online Samuri Empire. cd, and installed it, but when I go to try and run it it won't let me log in. I think I need to patch up with thier servers. But that patch program didn't seem to run. I have a duel boot with a win98 partition where the game works. Also I have no clue how to find the directory where wine is installed at, I can't even find wine cfg, when I installed it I went as root to my home directory and used the rpm command on the wine rpm file. I've checked out Cedega, but last I checked it does not support UO.
  9. Well, I spent some time trying to learn C programing. I coudln't even get hello world to compile. I get all sorts of error messages no matter what I do. I'm running mandrake 10.0. This is the source code of my little program. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. /* hello.c */ /*#include <stdio.h> I commented this out cause it was giving me all sorts of errors*/ int main(void) { printf("hello, world!\n"); return 0; } Hey, I got it to work, remmber to delete the stupid nots at the top of the emacs, it messes up compiling real bad and will turn you into a flustrated newbie. :lol:
  10. That sounds about right SheHeltThey <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  11. I don't see any setuptk pagkages, just debug and mdk1.
  12. Wine is way too hard, I tried for years to get it to work at all. Last I downloaded a rpm and installed it, but now I don't know what am I supposed to do to get it to acctually run. It came with all thesse executable files, but when I click on them they don't do anything useful. I am a transgaming subscriber and have Cedega too, but I didn't get it to work with ultima online. I had it for a while, last time I tried winex it worked, but the game ran too slow, it was almost to slow to collect bulk order deeds and impossible to hunt monsters with. Thats the only game I really play anymore.
  13. I havn't done any programing at all since I was in school and wrote programs in pascal under windows 3.1 using an old complier. I also did one semester of C++ programing. I would like to be able to write some small things for linux, like something for kde or gnome, maybe a simple game or something. I could go back to school, but I really don't want to waste my time writing stuff for visual basic under windows. Could some one please direct me to some good free documentation, compiliers resources. Sorry if this sounds really really dumb, but I am newbie4ever. :P
  14. I know this is a really dumb question, but like for instance totem is acting up now how do I kill it.
  15. I found "artsd" inside folder /usr/bin/. I tried running it as a command. It produced: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device or resource busy). I did "fuser -v /dev/dsp" and "fuser -v /dev/sound/dsp" and got no listings. Either this is a flat out timing problem, where the conflict arises in too short a time to view what is using 'dev/dsp", or I have a corrupt device file somehow.
