Guest toxy Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hello all, Resplendant with my 3d grapgics hardware acceleration, I downloaded TuxKart from this very site(my favourite linux helpsite). tuxkart-0.2.0-3mdk.athlon.rpm is the exact file name. I downloaded the athlon version cos I have an athlon 1900. However, when I try to install it I get.... libGLcore.s0.1 is needed by tuxkart blah blah etc. I have gooled for this one, and indications are that this lib is related to NVida graphics cards and drivers. Those of you with good memories will remember from yesterday that I have a ATI Radeon 8500LE. Anyone got this going with a Radeon? Is there summink obvious I have missed? Do I need to download a different RPM? Should I have an Athlon Kernel for this version? THanks again in advance for any help. Looking at it on the web, my 2 girls will go ape for this game. I'm trying to educate them away from the 'other' OS.... Cheers, Tox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 There is a working rpm avilable for 9.1, I got it from the standard 9.1 contrib urpmi source (I think). Its not athlon, but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toxy Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Ta for the reply. Have you got nvida or radeon though? Cos the error I got is looking for summink that seems to be associated with nvida stuff, which I aint got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 ATI Radeon 7000 in one machine and a Radeon Mobility in the other. Both run the TuxKart rpm quite well. Two of the racing tracks don't work, but I don't know if thats a graphics card problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toxy Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Okay, thanks. I'll download the other non-athlon one and give it a go, see if thats any better. Cheers for the help. Tox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Good luck! I don't think the fact that its an Athlon rpm is whats causing you problems, unless of course you don't have an Athlon. Its more likely to be something perculiar to how that rpm was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2ms Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 One question, the athlon rpm's...... are they for any athlon system, or for athlon-rebuilt kernals? I have an athlon, but haven't rebuilt my kernal. From my understanding the basic kernal from MDK is slightly Intel biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 From my understanding it means the rpm itself was compiled for the Athlon instruction set. It shouldn't matter what the kernel was compiled for. Processor optimisation should only affect performance/efficiency not how it functions. There are of course exceptions, you can have areas of code that only get compiled if certain compiler options are set. I think in this case it shouldn't make any difference what type of kernel you are running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zenhues Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 I googled about the error, and found it was something about how the rpm was made, most likely on a machine with the nvidia card. The information I got was to intall it with --nodeps, and it works fine for me (the athlon build). I could be completely wrong, or have gotten the wrong advice. It does work, though.

iphitus Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 If i ever need an RPM or a dependency like the one you need i go to www.rpmseek.com ans search for files providing 'libGLcore.s0.1' or whatever it may be. james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 If i ever need an RPM or a dependency like the one you need i go to www.rpmseek.com ans search for files providing 'libGLcore.s0.1' or whatever it may be. james That tuxcart one is mine, 'libGLcore.s0.1' is because i have a nvidia card so it used the nvidia headers (should have built it before installing nvidia drivers so it would use mesa instead) . I think though that it asks for 'libGLcore.s0.1' but it is not actually needed. Can you try installing with "urpmi --allow-nodeps tuxkart-0.2.0-3mdk.athlon.rpm" it will ask to install without checking dependencies, go yes. then see if it runs with the radeon (i assume you have direct rendering working with your card? glxinfo -> direct rendering: Yes). If it doesn't work then sorry but it can't hurt to try(i take no responsibility if you monitor/computer/house/cat exploded due to a crappy rpm rebuild) :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 BTW if you are installing an rpm, just use urpmi, as in: urpmi package.rpm if the package is where you are giving the command, urpmi doesn't try to download it from anywhere (so it doesn't have to be in the database), it just assumes the one there is what you want, and resolves the dependencies that it finds in the .rpm package headers. Since this one problem may be more related to the nvidia stuff, this may not apply. But in short: urpmi rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
