Also, whatever you do, do not try to use the SCP on SuSE 10. It uses new and buggy versions of glibc and the gcc. Even though it might look like it compiles correctly, it won't run. At least, I've not been able to get it to work. SuSE 10 does not seem to be ready for primetime.

im using fedora core 4. anyway il poste the whole of the error later when i get on my linux box. i still havent figured out how to do network connection sharing in a multi platform environment, that and i cant afford a network switch. id rather use a hub, cause im paranoid about higher level devices, but i cant find one in this town.

also im getting of conflicting instructions about how to compile fs2. not sure which ones to go by.

i was able to successfully compile d2x, so at least i know im not a total moron
but onto frespace open.

heres the terminal output for ./configure

It just looks like you are missing the gcc-g++ package.  D2X doesn't need it since it's just C and not C++ so that's probably why it worked.  Just do "su root -c yum install gcc-g++" and then you should be ok, at least as far as the compiler is concerned.

well that worked, but i get another error. i think it has something to do with open al. i thought i installed tyhe open al packages already. but im gonna doublecheck that and download the packages again.
that  and vorbis
i think i got a compile. i guess the next step is to figure out cvs and seeing if i cant make any usefull code contributions
anyway thanks for all your help.
