You need the compat-* rpms, these are available with RH 8. You will also need an older version of qt and qt-devel. These you will have to get from an older version of RH. I think 7.2 was the base for their image. > 2. I am also in 455 so I also need to use openGL.

Did you install the *-devel? They have the headers. Normal users don't need the headers, just the binaries. *snip* > 4.

Although you might have to specially install Qt to get two copies on the same machine. > 5.

If you know the name of a file in your home directory, you can find it with find / -name <file name> 2>/dev/null then copy your home back after finding it. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
