mesa_DEV :wink: (OpenGL is not in the default) Easiest way to get it is Slickpet>Drivers(tab)>Mesa. You get a popup with the choice. HTH Apologies for the late reply. Thanks for that. Now I need to have the gstreamer libraries installed in order to build the mediactrl. Any help here? Would you perh...

Hello All, I am attempting to build wxWidgets SVN head, but get the error that the opengl headers are missing. I have the devx loaded, and examining the puppy package manager doesn't seem to point to anything looking like an OpenGL library. Am I missing something or is there another method needed to...

Thanks for the help.

It looks as though saving to / on a LiveDVD is the correct option.

The partition where your save is is /mnt/home in the filesystem. You have to ahve a save file in order to use .sfs modules and they have to be in the same place as the save file. And of course saving to a DVD doesn't create a pup_save file. Damn Alternately, you could mount it using the loop argume...

I managed to burn a DVD and boot Puppy 4 from this. I shut down Puppy from this Live DVD and saved my session. I downloaded devx_400.sfs and since there was no /mnt/home I created one. I then copied the devx_400.sfs file to this location. I then restarted Puppy. I was not asked if I wanted to mount ...

It is an invalid symlink to a valid library, but you are corect in that it seems to get copied OK.

It is invalid when located in /mnt/devx/lib, but valid when copied to /lib

First mount the SFS file & then copy a file like this: cp /( SFS file mount point )/lib/libncurses.so /lib Post the error reported back here so I'll know what's going on. sh-3.00# mkdir /mnt/devx sh-3.00# mount -o loop /devx_216.sfs /mnt/devx sh-3.00# cp /mnt/devx/lib/libncurses.so /lib cp: can...

### Give the new version a go & let me know... Terry Same problem. Fresh install, only using devx_216.sfs, get loads of errors /lib/libncurses.so /lib/libz.so /lib/modules/2.6.18.1/build /usr/X11R7/lib/libDtPrint.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libFS.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libGL.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libGLU.so /usr/X...

OK, using the instructions here I was able to compile and install Hiawatha.

If I can help further, let me know.

Thanks for looking. I also added a .desktop file but when clicked on, nothing happens. (I downloaded the sfsmanager-menu and altered it as in your previous post) This might offer some help as to why things aren't working as you expected. I removed the devx_216.sfs file using your script/dialog, and ...

Further to my post above, I have redownloaded Hiawatha http://hiawatha.leisink.org which I had previously built and installed when using a LiveCD and a devx_216.sfs file. Now the build fails, many many "undefined reference" errors such as hiawatha-libssl.o(.text+0x541): In function `get_cl...

New install, devx_216.sfs, attempted to install using your installer. I have no idea why, but the Install Errors window contains the following /lib/libncurses.so /lib/libz.so /lib/modules/2.6.18.1/build /usr/X11R7/lib/libDtPrint.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libFS.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libGL.so /usr/X11R7/lib/libGL...

Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunatel;y I am either too dense or too stupid to use your suggestions. I have however solved my problem, by switching to Hiawatha. Downloaded devx_216.sfs and saved it where it should go (rebooted and added it to the system using the dialog upon reboot) Downloaded the...

I did search but couldn't find an answer.

Is your package available anywhere else?

Installed the abyss web server, but upon starting the server (./abysswx) I receive the error "Cannot execute the server using root privileges". Has anyone come across this previously? PUP 2.16 LIVECD. Installed by virtue of expanding the archive, moving the abyssws folder to /mnt/root And ...

I installed Midnight commander (using the dotpup or pet - can't remember which at the moment), and after updating to 2.15 RC2, when attempting to run MC I get the error message relating to libgpm.so.1 "No such file or directory". Have I missed something? I believed that an update to my HD ...

Standard Edition RC2 + web_215.sfs + devx_215.sfs + fltkc++_215.sfs = Developer Edition So where should I find the devx_215.sfs file? I have searched the forum for its location, including looking at http://www.puppyos.net/test/ which shows devx_214.sfs. devx_215.sfs is also not present at the locat...

Could you use a boot floppy to boot the CD?

There are several smart boot managers that allow this.

Excellent film, even better graphic novel.

Unfortunately I couldn't afford the reprint when I was last in England, and must suffice with remembering how good it was.

Why do you actually suggest this name?

Sounds easy enough for even me to do.
