I've built RPM's for x86 and will have to check to see if they are still around as I changed hard drives a while back and they may be on the old one. Earlier today I built and installed everything on an Athlon 64x2 box with openSuSE 10.1 x86_64, the full set of RPM's generated with "checkinstall" and working. freealut-1.1.0.tar.gz and openal-0.0.8.tar.gz had to be used, though to build openal, it needed openal.xpm one directory up, so I had to copy it over from an earlier download - openal is looking a bit untidy with regards to Linux, they seem to be concentrating more heavily on Windows and OSX, may be SDL is the way to go. I am using plib that I built from CVS on 13th. August. The build instructions for FlightGear are quite straightforward, but it needs careful attention especially with regards to freealut, freeglut and openal, SimGear and FlightGear pose no problems.
