Partly finished .... For SuSE please install xg86_glx, mesa, mesa-dev, _no_ xf86glx-dev !, xf86_glu without 't' at the end, (or similar name) including -dev, _no_ mesaglu !, mesaglut including -dev (also plib including -devel, if available). This should be sufficient. Probaly SuSE-7.2 comes with outdated Plib (memory does'nt serve this evening). Otherwise: Upgrade to SuSE-7.3 and enjoy the supplied package of FlightGear-0.7.8. This one runs so nice that I dumped my self compiled binaries. O.k., as my only computer capable of running FlightGear is the one at work I didn't have the time for fully qualified testing .... Unfortunately they don't pay me for that ;-) Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
