[TuxKart-users] Compile errors

[Carl & P. Z. <PCZ...@at...>]

1  I am a Linux newbie
2  I'm running Mandrake 8.0
3  I have successfully installed the Nvidia drivers & can run Tuxracer with 
no problems.
4  I want to run Tuxkart & other Plib games
5  When I compile Plib & Tuxkart I get the same error.  Missing file 
glu.h  (I do have the files gl.h & glx.h)  What         do I need to 
install to get this?
6  I am assuming that I don't need to install glut because it's required to 
run Tuxracer.  However, I believe that when compiling Tuxkart, it can't 
find glut or free glut.

Thank you, Carl

You probably need to install the *devel* files. Here is what I have, that
I think is relevant, on my Mandrake 8 system

Mesa-3.4.1-4mdk
Mesa-common-3.4.1-4mdk
Mesa-common-devel-3.4.1-4mdk

You know you're a Linux geek when...

    You find the thought of rebooting after installing a piece of software
    utterly absurd.

Be careful - this is an nVidia user - they MUST NOT INSTALL MESA because it'll
screw up their nVidia OpenGL drivers.

Sometimes distributions don't install the necessary development libraries
that you would require to install the game. The runtimes are there, which is
why Tuxracer works, but there are no devels. The solution would be to take a
look at your installation cds and see if you can find an RPM of glut
development libraries. If you can't you'll have to download them.
rpmfind.net is usually a good place to get hold of these things.

I thought GLU was shipped with the latest nVidia drivers - well, perhaps
not.

I suggest you download *BUT DO NOT INSTALL* Mesa from www.mesa3d.org because
it contains a valid GLU library and glu.h - don't install it because it will
overwrite your nVidia drivers.

Perhaps they are installed - but in the wrong place.  You should have:

   /usr/include/GL/glut.h

...and...

   /usr/lib/libglut.a  ...or... /usr/lib/libglut.so

...some distro's (incorrectly) install GLUT in /usr/X11 somwhere - or perhaps
in /usr/local
