problems with tuxracer

**robak** · 10-11-2004

Hi !

first my system:
2.6.8 kernel
ati radeon 9500
xorg 6.7
ati-driver 3.9.0

i have the newest Mesa installed, but when i try to install tuxracer i get
this messages:

./configure --prefix=/home/nurbs/Tuxracer --with-gl-libs=/usr/local/lib
--with-gl-inc=/usr/local/include/GL/ --enable-stencil-buffer *

recent copy from the latest Mesa distribution

what can i do?
thx in advance

What distro are you using? Is there not a package available precompiled? I was also under the impression (could be wrong here) that ATI and NVidia had their own versions of the GL libraries, so you wouldn't want to use the Mesa Libs.

i have gentoo, and tuxracer installed
but i downloaded the sources because i want to develop the game myself.
i wanted to code antialiasing and such stuff.

I know for sure glXGetProcAddressARB in configure's script shoul dbe changed to somehting else... I'm still trying to find what...

try replacing glXGetProcAddressARB with glXGetProcAddress. it worked for me

but i get hundreds of warnings while compiling

Code:

make

.
.
.

what does this mean?

I don't know man but I'm getting the same problems with Slack10.0... I'm rgretting the upgrade from Slack 9.1... everything worked like a charm in it!

Any help would be appreciated... I'm sure this is a distro-specific problem... but even the Slack10.0 tuxracer packages won't work!!!! Compiling is Slack10.0 users' only hope can you please post any information that might be helpful to us.

Thank you very very much in advance!

Ok! I found a solution to the tuxracer installation error in Slackware... here is the solution

http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4687.html

BTW.... this is only for those who wish to install the precompiled packages...
You want to download the slack tuxracer package or even tuxkart and use installpkg command to install them... they will work after following the guide at that site.
I still can't compile the program for some odd reason. Well... one problem solved... another to go.
