GTK GUI causing X-freeze ATI Rage 128, Mdk 8.2

[Cro Maat]

I have a Mandrake 8.2, with an ATI Rage 128, XFree 4.2 and GTK 2.

Whenever I tried to use the gtk gui (that looks fine by the way) I had an X-Freeze after a little while. So what I did was a ./configure --without-gtk, and of course now I don't have the problem anymore.

Regarding the crash when comming close to ringed planet, in src/celengine/render.cpp, line:

glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_UNITS_ARB,(GLint*) &nSimultaneousTextures);

I added the line:

nSimultaneousTextures = 1;

right underneath and now it works fine (or if not everything works completly, at least at don't have program crashes anymore).

Now I can really enjoy Celestia Thank to all the coders !

Cheers,

M.E.

There were some people who had serious problems compiling Celestia 1.2.4 under Mandrake 8.2. This was --as they say-- partly related to a more rigorous policy of gcc 3.x compared to gcc 2.9.6 and partly because of a renaming of g++ libraries.

What about you?

I also remember other people having problems with Celestia under gtk 2. Unfortunately there is little experience yet from the side of the developers. I think we all have still gtk+ 1.2 running...

I had no compilation problem at all, everything worked fine. May be these people had Beta versions of Mdk 8.2 ?

Before compiling celestia I tried the Mandrake cooker RPM. It needed the package libstd.so.4 to work, so I installed it. Then I installed the RPM, but with it I also hat that GTK GUI X-Freeze issue, and furthermore I couldn't bugfix the ringed planet problem. So I removed the RPM, removed the libstdc++-3.1-7 package as well, and compiled Celestia 1.2.4 with the bug workaround and without gtk.

as for the origional post this may help... as for the guy installing and uninstalling rpms it would be a better idea to have downloaded the source rpm from the cooker distro of mandrake and did the following:

rpmbuild --rebuild blahblahblah.src.rpm
then go install the rpm you made for mandrake 8.2
