First of all, thx for following me.Flight gear was worked with no problem on Fedora core 1.(but extremely worked slowly) cuz, Fedora 1 didn't work with my VGA card.So then, i set Fedora 5 up into my system to go through it easliy.As my hope, Fedora 5 is working with my system very well.All, devices were fully,perfectly detected!but, Flight gear is just shutted down automatically in 10 sec after starting.what's wrong with it?one more thing is.....i really want to know how to use INPUT/OUTPUToption in Flight gear. All documents mentioned about it little and all same. ( i should read datum( dynamic datum, ex) velocity, altidtude, etc. )) from Flight gear )

We won't be able to help you, if you don't provide sufficient information:http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/h...cfm?wpid=247004

( i should read datum( dynamic datum, ex)>velocity, altidtude, etc. )) from Flight gear )I may be guessing, but I think you are asking about ways how to interface FlightGear with other software, or simply accessing FlightGear's internals in general?If that's the case, you may find the following discussions relevant:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...=1439&mode=fullhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...=1411&mode=full(these discussions contain references to further resources)

I too have a problem with flightgear on fedora core 5I downloaded the rpm from a mirror posted on the flightgear site,Although I had aglut installed from my fedora repo, flightgear complained that it required aglut >= the version posted on the mirror. The version I have installed was newer, so i used --nodeps to override the missing dependency. however flightgear dies with an errorlike unresolved symbol alut.load.wave.

However, I wouldn't think so:Concerning the first problem, I would recommend to make sure that OpenGL support is properly installed (i.e. by running glxinfo/glxgears).Your problem on the other hand seems to be related to GLUT/OpenAL, thus I would recommend to either check back with the OpenAL docs/mailing list or simply try using the lib version that is required.In general, dependencies can be quite a tricky thing with pre-compiled binaries. Personally, I would always prefer building from sources if at all possible, this is pretty straightforward and basically makes sure that all dependencies are indeed satisfied. Also, you end up with a binary that has been specifically built for your very platform.So, overriding dependencies is generally not a good idea, you should be able to troubleshoot the problem further if you start FG in gdb and/or provide an strace log.

I installed the version of openal found on the flightgear ftp server, and I also installed glut from openal's site. All other apps that use open al or glut load just fine, but flightgear 0.99 exits with the following error: GlutSetCursor befor calling GlutInit

All>other apps that use open al or glut load just fine, but>flightgear 0.99 exits with the following error: GlutSetCursor>befor calling GlutInitWell, you seem to be using a broken version of FreeGLUT, so this is not a FlightGear problem. This has been repeatedly reported: you may want to get the latest FreeGLUT from CVS or downgrade your FreeGLUT version.

1) Are you able to run other OpenGL software?2) What's the output of glxinfo?3) Have you tried starting FlightGear from the console?4) Are there any error messages or warnings in the console?5) Have you tried running FlightGear using --log-level=bulk in order to get additional information while starting FlightGear from the console?

I have tried varrious versions of openal freealut, and freeglut. If I revert to the version of open al posted with the fedora flightgear package I get a differant error "unresolved symbol AlutLoadWaveFile"Can you please specify wich versions of openal, freealut, and freeglut I need to get my flightgear going? I have tried many different combinations, and none of them have worked. Thanks, JPS

I gater that the fedora package posted on the flightgear web site was graciously built by Steve Hosgood, is there any way I can find out the versions he was using.

:) Succsess!!!! :)got Glut2.0.1 from ttp://jumpgate.homelinux.net/random/freeglut-fedora/openal from flightgear mirror ftp://ftp.de.flightgear.org/pub/fgfs/Fedora/freealut from fedora extrashttp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedo.../extras/5/i386/Flightgear problem solves, thanks for suggesting older glut!I really do appreciate it, now I just have to learn to fly!Thanks, JPS

Hi sneakbob, sorry but can I ask you what you installed to run FlightGear on Fedora 5?I have installed openal, simgear, plib and freeglut but the "make install" still gives me some errors like:est-epsilon.c:13:19: error: GL/glut.h: No such file or directoryest-epsilon.c: In function
