Thanks for posting this info below. Going to RH8.0 is probably going to be my solution to getting up and running again. With RH7.1 I am still dead in the water w/ the SkySceneLoader *sgClouds3d code (segfault ... unless someone can figure out how to have fgfs avoid that code when 3d clouds are disabled, which is the default option).

Regards,
Michael

Without having a lot of time to spend on it, my original goal was to go with
their highly touted install routine and if it failed to work I'd clean the
disk and move on.  Well it worked.  Amazingly enough.

Their pre-done package selections (workstation or server--some others in 8.0)
never do what I want so I did custom install and basically added everything
except a few server items I don't need.

Building Flight Gear on a fresh install of RH8.0 went quite smoothly, with
basically the same issues as previous releases:

1) Even with all the package groups I had selected the glut package still
didn't get installed.  Then after looking a bit I noticed that the glut
package isn't anywhere on the fancy "add/remove package" menu that pops up
everytime you insert disk 1.  So you'll have to install them some other way.
BTW, they are on distribution Disc #3.  Note that both glut-3.7-8 and
glut-devel-3.7-8 need to installed.  Do that and now you can build plib.

2) Red Hat doesn't include metakit, so you'll have to build the one in the
src-libs directory of the SimGear project.  Extract it.  Change into the
metakit-2.4.3/builds directory.

Run the configure by typing
./unix/configure --prefix=/usr

Then build and install it.  After you do that you can build SimGear and then
FlightGear.

Best,

Jim
