a13x Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 TurRacer wasn't running at all, when I executed it nothing happened, so I decided to uninstall it and compile it. When I run ./configure I get this error: checking whether glx.h defines glXGetProcAddressARB... no configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date. You can get a more recent copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net). I downloaded the latest Mesa source (6.1), typed 'make' than 'make linux-x86'' and all went well. When I typed 'make install' I get this: Installing ./bin/installmesa make: ./bin/installmesa: Command not found make: *** [install] Error 127 Mode Note:Moved from Software by phunni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Did you type 'make install' as root? An easier method to install tuxracer is from rpm as root: urpmi tuxracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 i have xorg and not xfree86 so this is what I'd do [root@localhost root]# urpmf glx.h libgtkglext-1.0_0-devel:/usr/include/gtkglext-1.0/gdk/x11/gdkglx.h libgtkglext-1.0_0-devel:/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtkglext/gtkglext-gdkglx.html libgtkglext-1.0_0-devel:/usr/include/gtkglext-1.0/gdk/x11/gdkglx.h libgtkglext-1.0_0-devel:/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtkglext/gtkglext-gdkglx.html libxorg-x11-devel:/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h [root@localhost root]# rpm -q libxorg-x11-devel package libxorg-x11-devel is not installed [root@localhost root]# urpmi libxorg-x11-devel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) Spiedra, I tried that before but there seems to be a strange problem with my cds. urmpi tell se me that it can't 'read' some packages so that's why I'km trying this method. ok bvc I've tried what you said but urpmi wants to install the entire xorg server. Do I have to quit X in order to have a succesful installation ? Edited August 27, 2004 by a13x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 (edited) Not sure if it was necessary, I don't remember. But if you go for xorg, you'll have to create a the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, just copy the contents of XF86Config-4 file into xorg.file and it should work.

spiedra Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 With the urpmi issue, it sounds like it was trying to grab tuxracer from one of your ftp sources which may be down. Try opening software manager and grab tuxracer of the cd's. Also, you want to update your ftp sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I've tried what you said bvc and I still get the same error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) Compiling TuxRacer failed ... so I decided to try urpmi as spiedra suggested. I fixed my ftp sources and TuxRacer installed without problems. The thing is nothing has changed; it still doesn't work. I ran it from the console and this is what I get: [root@Alex /]# ./usr/games/tuxracer Tux Racer 0.61 -- a Sunspire Studios Production (http://www.sunspirestudios.com)(c) 1999-2000 Jasmin F.
