Celestia Forums

Hello,

I am trying to build celestia under redhat 6.2 and 7.3 and I have not been able to get past ./configure. In both cases it complains about missing gl.h header files and doesn't detect gtk. I have enclosed the stdout of ./configure from the 6.2 machine on which I have Mesa-3.4.1-1, Mesa-devel-3.4.1-1 and gtkglarea-1.2.1-2, gtkglarea-devel-1.2.1-2 installed.

I have also tried running ./configure --with-gl-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include --with-gtk. This did not seem to have any effect.

Any help you could offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Patrick McEvoy

Go manually to the header directories:

cd /usr/include/GL

Do you have the following header files there?
gl.h gl_mangle.h glext.h glu.h glut.h glx.h glx_mangle.h
glxext.h osmesa.h xmesa.h xmesa_x.h xmesa_xf86.h

If yes proceed to

cd /usr/X11R6/include/GL

Do have the following headers there:

GLwDrawA.h GLwDrawAP.h GLwMDrawA.h GLwMDrawAP.h
MesaDrawingArea.h MesaDrawingAreaP.h MesaMDrawingArea.h MesaMDrawingAreaP.h
MesaWorkstation.h MesaWorkstationP.h gle.h


If yes check

rpm -qi gtk
rpm -qi gtk-devel

Go and look for them in the listed directories

If you are still OK then you should also get beyond the configure step...;-)

Much luck

Hello Fridger,

Thanks for such a quick reply. After going through your message I have discovered the following issues.

I have gtk+-1.2.10-1 and gtk+-devel-1.2.10-1 installed not gtk and gtk-devel which seems to cause the configure program to fail. The problem seems to be checking for a gtkglarea function prototype which does exist.

The other issue is that /usr/lib/libGLcore.so does not exist but I have the XFree86 library instead /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a

Can I build celestia with this setup by changing the confiure program or do I need to downgrade gtk and obtain a libGLcore lib specifically for my video card?

Thanks again for your help,

Patrick
