Linux question....

Post #1by hardsonic » 30.01.2002, 22:51

I just downloaded gcelestia for linux. I'm not getting very far with the compiling part of it. It says "configure: error: GNU library was not found". Do I need to set this somewhere before I compile it? I run opengl apps all the time, and they seem to find the gnu libs just fine. One more thing.. I downloaded a binary (for gnome)and tried to unzip it using gzip and/or gunzip, and it says it isn't in gzip format? Any advice on getting this running in linux would be great.

You need to have the glibc development libraries and header files, glibc-devel-*.rpm on RH/Mandrake etc. and libc6-dev on Debian and alikes.

If the file you downloaded had a .tar.gz extension then you should first untar it. Try "tar xzvf file.tar.gz" and it will untar and gunzip it for you.
