configure: error: GLUT library version >= 3.7 not found

i tried to download Glut >3.7 but the saim error!
i'm using a redHat 8.0 linux, and i finaly managed to instal my gForce III, and GL on it.

Check for the exact error at the end of the config.log file, you're probably missing another librairy.

It could also help if you tell us what distrib you're using. I you have the KDE3 libs installed you should try using the KDE version instead, the gnome version is not actively maintained anymore and is missing many features.

I'm using GNOME, but i've also installed the KDE, and my linux distributin i thing it is 2.84, 18-14, but i'm not shuer. So enyway thenks for the config.log! Ill what i can do!

ok, i looked, and looked, but... O Boy!

here it is

I give up for now

got a clue?

I agree with Christophe ...

While I was unable to get celestia running with glut with ALOT of work putting behind it, it worked with the KDElibs after relatively few work ... you *should* try the kde version. It's really really neat :D

xyz,

The important part is:


which means that you don't have glut installed, or that it's not installed correctly.

Try:


to find any glut package installed on your system, then you can do a rpm -ql on the result to find out where the lib is installed, it should be in /usr/X11R6/lib or /usr/lib. If it's not you need to run configure with the option '--with-glut-libs=/path/to/lib'

If you have the KDE3 libs installed you should try using the KDE version instead, the gnome version is not actively maintained anymore and is missing many features.

I would ask the developers to support GTK/Gnome better. KDE is a scary monster. I tried to set up my system so, that all applications would share the same graphic toolkit. GTK is the only library that offers full range of applications sharing the same look and feel. Qt&kde takes up the disk space without giving anything new. Unfortunately, lot of good work is lost because of Qt dependency.

Celestia is a free software project, you're welcome to participate. We currently have no GTK/Gnome developer and I personnally have no plan to start learning GTK so the situation is not likely to change unless someone volunteers.

I doubt that, you can't have a full range of applications unless you're using GTK1 and 2 applications which breaks the consistent look and feel.

Well, one could use the exact same argument against GTK. Personnally I don't mind using both QT and GTK apps although I very rarely feel the need to use a Gnome application except the Gimp. And considering today's hard disk prices the disk space argument is really moot.

you suck, i will never use this stupid software unless you support GTK. I spent 2 hours downloading this crap and another 2 hours debugging this stupid GLUT error to no end only to read through this forum to find that Gnome is not supported. You should post that you don't support GTK anymore on your download page and save people alot of headaches.

friendly lil' guy, isn't he?

Im surprised, your'e using linux and you dont understand this :

Also, look really carefully, on the download page all the rpms have the letters 'kde' in them.

If you want easy go back to windows.

i will never use this stupid software unless you support GTK.

Im sure no one cares whether you do or not.

Oof, what a bad feel after reading things as these...

I personally prefer Gnome for simplicity and style, after feeling the Kde desktop a bit overloaded; although I agree there is a lot of good work Kde-based, and I use a lot of Kde things while i am in Gnome. Also Qt-based software is good for my zaurus too!! But at least we can have a choice, can't we?

Unlike the earlier idiot poster, I will ask nicely.

Please improve GTK support if it is indeed broken. I would love to try this software, but my computer only have Linux with Gnome2.2 installed. For a linux noob installing all that from stratch (no distro) was pretty amazing. But I don't know if I could install KDE from source just to have this software. :sigh:

Please take a look at the posting http://63.224.48.65/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2341

It may not be specific to NetBSD.

The GTK version of Celestia is not broken, it's just not maintained anymore which means that new features are not added to the interface. However since most features are in fact features of the embeded Celestia engine you can still take advantage of them (e.g. multiview).

Although I mainly work on the KDE version, before each release I still check that the GLUT and GTK versions build and work properly. The main problem people seem to have with the GTK version is building it which requires Gnome 1 (not 2) with the devel packages and its many dependancies, but I really can't help there.

In the past, I did quite a bit of coding for the Celestia-gtk interface. I never had and still have no problems whatsoever building and running the gtk version. It runs very well, but is missing quite a number of recent 'goodies' that are to be found in the KDE version.

The classical/traditional credo in the UNIX world was always that applications should be coded /independently/ of any particular desktop or window manager! After extensive discussions among us developers I gave in;-). The 'MS Windows role model' is simply too powerful and KDE, Gnome and friends are competing in this philosophy to attract potential Linux users that have no idea about the underlying system.

Fine, the above (unpleasant) discussion is an example of what I anticipated when we went through this issue some time ago...


Bye Fridger

I compiled first a Gnome version of celestia 1.2.5 and it worked very well, altough it lacked a buttoned interface. As i have KDE installed too, later shifted to a KDE compiling, seeking a richer interaction, but I wouldn't say the Gnomeish version was unusable, only 'harder' to use - the keyboard commands worked.

The main problem people seem to have with the GTK version is building it which requires Gnome 1 (not 2) with the devel packages and its many dependancies, but I really can't help there.

Then why isn't that stated on the site somewhere? (FAQ?)
