genommen 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I am trying to get 3d Desktop running on Fedora Core 3. I keep running into dependency issues with rpms. They say the needed files like XFree86-libs aren't there but if I try to install them i can't because it says they are there. Someone please help me. I want to get this working.

For more info check the sourceforge site 3d desktop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
znx 24 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 if you are installing from source.. its probably the -devel rpms that arent installed. as with most package systems the header files and development libs are left out of the main packages. look for package-version-devel.rpm or -dev. these contains the 'extras' to allow you to compile from source.

I can't find them. And will installing XFree86 affect anything I already have running such as a different X windows server? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
znx 24 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 just so that you understand: xorg was made from a branch from xfree86 (due to some license alterations). when a lot of stuff talks about xfree86 it can (unfortunately) relate to either xorg or xfree86. you will have xorg installed.. as anyweb said. so what you will need is something like: xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1.fc3.rpm if you have apt installed, you should be able to: apt-get install xorg-x11-devel not sure what the similar yum line would be but taking a guess yum install xorg-x11-devel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

znx 24 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 According to apt I already have the newest version of xorg-x11-devel mmmh ok.. maybe its another devel package from xorg. try giving apt a search: apt-cache search xorg | grep devel hopefully that will give you a suggestion?
