RE: [Newbie]Trouble Installing XFree86 4.2.0

[Jason J.W. Pock]

Hi everybody –   Thanks to everyone who has helped me try to solve my problems.  As it stands, this e-mail that I’m responding to is my exact problem!!!!!  I have a Radeon VE, but everything else is the same.  I have Redhat 7.2 and I tried to install XFree86 4.2.0.  After the installation, I run the ‘XFree86 –configure’ (just as the instructions say), and I have the EXACT same error:   Could not load the shared library file for Glide: “libglide2x.so”!   How can I fix this?  Did KM and I both do something wrong?  Is there an undocumented step?  Obviously this isn’t a rare problem, so it should be easy to fix, right?   -Jason     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of DT Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 12:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]Trouble Installing XFree86 4.2.0    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!   -KM
