Hi I posted earlier today a msg on the user list about issues with running fgfs on FC5 (c enclosed copy) . After a little more research I found the development list thread about FC5 and the freeglut 2.4.
So I tried the following rpm flightgear/FlightGearSDL-0.9.10-0.FC.i386.rpm <ftp://tallyho.bc.nu/pub/steve/flightgear/FlightGearSDL-0.9.10-0.FC.i386.rpm> and I am getting the following error : X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 29 () Serial number of failed request: 826 Current serial number in output stream: 826 Any ideas on how I can get fgfs running on FC5 ? thx andy > ------- copy of user list post ------------------------------ > > Sid Boyce wrote: > > >>> Dave Culp wrote: >>> >> >> >>>>> On Thursday 04 May 2006 05:44 pm, andy wrote: >>>>> >>> >>> >>>>>>> So my assumption of having to install freeglut 2.2 is correct ? >>>>>>> >>>> >>>> >>>>> Don't know about freeglut.
