I have been trying to get XFree86 4.2.0 to install on Redhat 7.2 with my Radeon 8500 card, but I am having trouble. It worked just fine on my previous RedHat 7.2 installation, but not this time around. I have verified that I used the correct binaries, and there were no problems encountered with the installation over XFree86 3.3 (which came with RedHat).
 
After installation when I run 'xfree86 -configure' I get an error telling me that a Glide library file that is needed can't be found. The library file it wants is libglide2x.so, and in my usr/lib directory there are only libglide3.so, libglide3.so.3 and libglide.so.3.10.0 I tried linking each of those files into X11R6/lib/modules as libglide2x.so, but that was a no go. Why does XFree86 want Glide to run the configuration anyway?
 
Anyone have any help, or experienced the same problem? I will try to supply any additional information that I can if needed. Thanks in advance for any help!
