It won't rebuild on mandrake 7.1 developer install either. I tried to rebuild the .src.rpm from linux.3dfx.com this morning. It totally barfed after about 30 minutes of frantic compiling. I would love to hear a possible explanation for why and even better a solution. I need to compile this so I can use my voodoo5. Please help?
