*Donn Washburn* gave a lot of hints how to compile FG under Suse. I am very glad to get such a precise explaination and copied and printed his reply immediately for my archive :-) But as for me this is one step to far - although I tried several Linux distributions over the last year the only thing I could install without any problems was TORCS (the racing car sim). To compile FG was far behind my scope. Now I am back to SuSe as this seems the best Linux distro for me now - all my special hardware was recognized automatically and runs fine (ie. Kubuntu could not handle). Now I am making another try to get FG running under Linux (SuSe 10.1). Melchior Franz postet a link for FG *.rpm for SuSe 10.0 some time ago on the German FlightGear Forum. Although this link is not valid (partially) anymore, I followed the base-link and found *.rpm for Suse 10.1 !!!! http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/lmich/SUSE_Linux_10.1/repodata/ When I tried to install with Yast there were unsolved dependencies: openAl and plib and FG data. The first two could be solved easily be installing them from the SuSe installation disks (with Yast). The third is a real problem for me, of course I have all the FG data but a) I don't know where to place them in SuSe Linux b) I don't know how the installer gets knowledge of the place I put it ("dependency error") c) One must have the matching data to the FG main program compilation So I download the "data" from the same link as above and hope that it installs to the right place itself. As this process is very slow (I have a fast DSL connection, but the server is very slow) I cannot say anything about the result now (have to download some hours more). If you try this way it would be very nice if you can tell me whether you were lucky or not (= get a running FG install). You may contact me off list but I think this problems (and the solution) are of interest for other Linux newbees as well, so we should use this mailing list. All the best, hope this helps a little - and thank you Donn Washburn for your hints, will be of big value for step 2!
