LD_LIBRARY_PATH? JRS thanks very much any help! JRS ze setenv and env are for C shell I guess, and another guess, you are using the default shell bash use export WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET=WHAT_VALUE_YOU_WANT_TO_GIVE -- to set ( or use "set" instead of "export" , dont remember if it was working too) set | grep WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET -- will show you if you set it correct or not. ps: bash is not so happy with spaces , so be keen on using XXX=YYY instead of XXX = YYY ps: if you do a "set |grep x" and see "_=x" then you " could not succeed" , this is because you used export instead of set, or vice versa.

[newbie] setenv question...
Okay, I've included a (very) small text attachment, it shows an error message I'm getting whenever I try to run an app that needs Mesa/Glide. I did go to README.3DFX and read it, but it was somewhat less than illuminating for me. Can someone look at the text and tell me what it is I'm supposed to do? I'm confused, because when I try "setenv" as su, (or normal user) I always get a "command not found" error. What file (.bash_profile? .bashrc?) is the lines supposed to go into? Thanks as always. -- /\ DarkLord \/ ;This is the message I get when trying to run Mesa/Glide stuff: WARNING: This Mesa Library includes the Glide driver but you have not defined the MESA_GLX_FX env. var. (check the README.3DFX file for more information). you can disable this message with a 'export MESA_GLX_FX=disable'. --- ;This is all I could find from README.3DFX: Set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that the libglide2x.so and Mesa library files can be found. For example: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/local/glide/lib:/SOMEDIR/Mesa-3.1/lib" - You'll have to run Glide-based programs as root or set the suid bit on executables; - Try a demo: cd gdemos su setenv MESA_GLX_FX f ./gears (hit ESC to exit) ;Any ideas? ;-)
[newbie] setenv
Ok, I've compiled the MesaGL libs to (hopefully) work with my Voodoo2. The HOWTO says I need to set an environment variable with setenv. The example it gives is: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/local/glide/lib:/Mesa-3.1/lib" Unfortunately, setenv doesn't exist anywhere on my machine. What's up? I've tried running it as root and an unpriveleged user. I feel like I'm missing something, and without the environment variable set my apps can't find the OpenGL libs. -- Meanie
