I still want to install the celestia in linux, but...

[xyz]

I had to get out of town for a while, there fore Sorry!

I tryed this:

Code:

> urpmi libgtk+1.2-devel

> urpmi libgtkglarea5-devel
Celestia in linux (Sorry for the delay)


I'm not too sure about the version numbers as I don't have 8.1 installed.
Otherwise you can run rpmdrake, do a search on gtk+ and install the relevant packages (if you don't know which just install everything).

The second error means that you don't have the GLU header file installed. That one is provided by Mesa:

Code:

> urpmi libMesaGLU1-devel this didn’t work

> urpmi libMesaglut3-devel this didn’t work



Once again I'm not sure about the version numbers but you can also do it from rpmdrake (search for Mesa).

Since you don't have the gtk+-devel stuff installed you don't have gnome-devel either.

Code:

> urpmi libglib1.2-devel this didn’t work


> urpmi libgnome32-devel this didn’t work

for all i recived this:

[root@xyz root]# urpmi libMesaGLU1-devel
no package named libMesaGLU-devel

then i tryed again the install lines and:

Welcome back,

Well, apparently all that's missing now is gnome, you are probably already able to do a gtk only build with ./configure --with-gtk

If you want the gnome version, in rpmdrake do a search on 'gnome' and install all the '-devel' packages and their dependencies.

I won’t give up!

Then:

I tried to install everithing that i found whith 'gnome' but I was asked for the CD nr. 3, ups i only have 2 cds?!?!?!?!.

After instaling, I think most of the devel i tried again:

But!?!?! :(

[Guest]

I discovered something. On my Linux the graphic application work like shit! For ex. “Tuxracer”!, first the mouse cursor is moving in slow motion, and when I start the game, O Boy!!!!

I think than my Kernel, if that is how is cold, is not configured well!

Well, if you don't have 3D hardware acceleration, it's not even worth trying to compile Celestia.

My advice would then be to upgrade to a more recent distribution, Mandrake 9.0 is out now, so it seems the way to go... Of course you should check first if your video card is supported by Mdk 9.0 and if 3D acceleration is provided.

I'm using a GForce2 MX 400 video card with 64 MB, CPU at 1600

But the 3d games under linux stil not work

That's because the open source drivers for NVidia cards have no 3D hardware acceleration. You need to download and install the (proprietary - binary only) drivers from NVidia here

Read the readme file and follow the instructions, it takes only a few minutes.

[Guest]

I didn't install this yet, but, what about my celestia?

[Christophe]

You should first try to get hardware acceleration working, as I said Celestia will just be plain useless without it.

Anyway, you're still missing one of the GLU header file, it is normaly provided by the libMesaGLU1-devel package, so in rpmdrake do a search on MesaGLU and install what comes up.

I hope that it will work out for you this time!

[Guest]

Be a bit carefull of the following:

AFAIK when you have hardware accelerated OpenGL you do not need Mesa.
The headerfiles should have come with XFree.

If you have an NVidia card, do read the different Howto's available on using them with OpenGL, maybe your distro will get it right, but the package shipped by NVidia contains some libs and headers that you don't want.

Since I only have experience doing this on Slackware, I'm not sure if I can help with specifics.

Ups, I don’t know why exactly but my X no longer starts.

I installed the nvidia drivers, but the OPENGL applications stil didn’t work as they shod so I tried changing the resolution, but I changed that 3.6… or something, I don’t know exactly my “x” …, to 3.6… with 3d support, and…………
So now I would like to know how to change it back, from the console.

The error say that the x server responded to fast, retry in 5 minutes.

Kernel version: 2.4.8-26dmk on i686 /tty

I've got no idea how mandrake does the switch from XFree86 3 to XFree86 4... It may be just a symbolic link, do a 'ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X'

That's what I get:

Code: Select all

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            8 Oct  1 09:18 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> Xwrapper

If you don't get the same thing, check if /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper exists, if it does, as root do:

Code: Select all

> cd /usr/X11R6/bin
> rm -f X
> ln -s Xwrapper X

Now, to get your NVidia driver to work correctly check that:
- XFree is actually using the correct driver, you should get an NVidia splash screen when X starts. If not you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and replace Driver "nv" by Driver "nvidia" (see the NVidia readme file).
- then check that the GLX extension is loaded by XFree, when you run xdpyinfo, you should see the following extensions: GLX, NV-GLX and NVIDIA-GLX, if not a libGL library provided by Mesa is probably in the way, check the FAQ part of the NVidia readme file.

As MK said, the NVidia drivers provide their own libGL which replaces the Mesa one. But you still need libMesaGLU and libMesaGLU-devel as NVidia does not provide libGLU nor its header file.
