I'm a noobie and am not that adept at Linux.I've tried installing the rpm but got stuck with this message:"error loading libopenal.so.0"Read the FAQ and it states the following solution:With the default installation, libopenal.so.0 is installed into /usr/local/lib. You need to ensure that that path is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, then run `ldconfig`as rootMy /etc/ld.so.conf is empty. What should be inserted here?I can't find libopenal.so.0 inside the /usr/local/lib.When I ran ldconfig as root, i get the following:File /usr/lib.qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.3.#prelink#.1P8J8h is too small, not checked.When i installed simgear, I get "transaction lock failed" or something like that.Please help. I'm also having problems running FG under WindowsXP (posted in another thread). TIAJaon Tan

I don't have a linux machine in front of me at the moment, but try doing "ldconfig | grep -i libopenal" as well as "rpm -qa | grep -i openal".The first command is going to look for the openal library on your pc, the second will see if you have the rpm installed. If neither produces the desired results of finding the libs or rpms, do a "yum search openal". If that fails, then go to openal's site and download, compile, and install the libs. As for the ld.so.conf, you can edit it and try to put in /usr/local/lib, rerun ldconfig and see if it works better that way.I hope this helps. I usually just compile FlightGear from source.

>My /etc/ld.so.conf is empty. What should be inserted here?Just put this in there:/usr/local/libAs for your other questions, I can't help you on them as I compile FlightGear from source as well.

Just learning to use CVS. I'll try compiling FG. I'll bombard with more questions as I progress ...Luckily I managed to find a rpm at the following URL:http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i3...2/RPMS.newrpms/Thanks, guys and keep up the good work.
