Re: [Newbie]Installed version 4.2.0, but no Glide library?

[DT]

<<So, I download all relevant files to /root/temp/ and run the Xinstall.sh file.  Installation goes GREAT!  No errors, not stalls, I'm thinking "this is too good to be true!!"  Well......it was.  I then ran -configure and got a big error that told me that the glide library couldn't be found, yada yada yada.  All this is okay if someone can point me in the direction of the necessary library (and tell me where I should put it etc.) >>   Myself and a few others have mentioned this exact same problem, unfortuanatly no one has offered a solution as of yet. I looked in (what I thought was) the config file and I didn't see anything about glide in it, just a few things about opengl. If you manage to solve your problem please let me know how you did it! =)   -Kyle     ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Derksen To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [Newbie]Installed version 4.2.0, but no Glide library?
