Greetings List,

I'm seeking advice on building Gem-0.90 from gem.iem.at for a Fedora 1 PlanetCCRMA system. I had been running 0.888-pre1 from planetccrma, but gettings frequent segfaults when turning off rendering.

For auxlibs, I get:

[mjb@Galactic_AC GemLibs]$ ./makeauxlibs ./makeauxlibs: line 5: test: =: unary operator expected Building Auxilliary Libraries =============================

And the configure script:

I've made sure glut is up to date, and installed the XFree86 sdk for good measure, but to no avail. I found an earlier thread in which the proposed solution had been to install glut-devel, but I didn't find the followup to know if this actually worked. I did it anyway. To verify Mesa and GLUT:

[mjb@Galactic_AC mjb]$ rpm -qa | grep Mesa XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-55 XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-55

[mjb@Galactic_AC mjb]$ rpm -qa | grep glut freeglut-1.3-1.20020125.3 glut-3.7-12.lvn.1.1 glut-devel-3.7-12.lvn.1.1

System specs: 2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrmasmp dual AMD opteron gcc 3.2.3 video: nvidia FX5700

I would truly appreciate any advice. I'm still too much a novice to edit configure scripts myself (or to move away from Fedora, for that matter). I get the list as a digest so please CC me on replies.

Thanks very much, Michael Berkowski michael@berkowski.net http://www.berkowski.net/
