fireglcontrolpanel + FC6

[ndoxx]

Try:

ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib

i'm using the x86 version of fedora, not x86_64, and i cant find fglrx/libGL.so, instead, the libGL.so is located in /usr/lib/xorg
and when i link it to /usr/lib it already exist in that directory

ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libGL.so' to `/usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so': File exists

and still i cant build the package

thanks

Try:

ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib

Hi, Michael:

I have exactly the same problem as ndoxx has. When I tried to
make the fglrx_panel_sources Makefile, I got:

"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL"

and I tried your suggestion:
"ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib"

It didn't work. The same problem.

Is there any possible solution for this?
Thank you.

Do you have all the X development libraries installed? Out of the dozens (well, at least a hundred by now) I haven't run into these issues after making the links.

I was reading through all these posts in the thread while I was trying to get rpms built from ati source on fc6xen. Here are the steps I did before it worked. Yeah, each step was required, I had to do dig into this thread for the solution for each of these. Thank you all. Special thanks to Micheal.

any idea why mine still fails at generating fireglcontrolpanel

[nforrester]

If you are encountering an issue when generating Fedora FC6 RPMs with the fglrx 8.29.6 drivers, read this thread.

If you are one of these users with build troubles, try building fireglcontrolpanel from source to see if it works or what errors are outputted.

To grab the source, pass the argument of --extract to the 8.29.6 driver installer. It will then make the fglrx-install folder. From there, grab fglrx-install/common/usr/src/ati/fglrx_panel_sources.tgz and extract the contents.

Run

make

in the extracted folder from fglrx_panel_sources.tgz. If the compilation errors out, post the output. Thanks.

I had the now common problem of "install: cannot stat `fireglcontrolpanel': No such file or directory" on a i686 (32-bit) machine. I followed the above directions for source compilation and make died at:

g++ FGLRXExtensions.o ATITVOExtensions.o  main.o Sheet.o Page.o InfoPage.o DualScreenPage.o AdjustPage.o TVoutAdjustPage.o BoardInfo.o moc_Sheet.o moc_Page.o moc_InfoPage.o moc_DualScreenPage.o moc_AdjustPage.o moc_TVoutAdjustPage.o    -o fireglcontrol.qt3.gcc4.1.1  -L/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lqt -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lICE -lSM -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm -lXinerama -lXrender -lfreetype -lXxf86vm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fireglcontrol.qt3.gcc4.1.1] Error 1

The cause was a missing link for libGL.so in /usr/X11R6/lib fixed by:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so

I expect that each system with the fireglcontrolpanel problem will have a different reason for failure, but the above compilation test should reveal the cause.

Thanks to Michael!

any idea why mine still fails at generating fireglcontrolpanel

*bump*

anyone know please? i could really use to get these drivers installed

[Michael]

Did you follow all of the steps? Such as the posts above?

[c0le]

Yes, i've followed every post, tried everything people said on these forums and on linuxforums.org and I still can't get it working. I never can get the fireglcontrolpanel file or the other 2 with it. Is there anywhere do just download those specific rpm's or tar's whatever they were?


Keep getting this:

install: cannot stat `fireglcontrolpanel': No such file or directory
Package build failed!

That's in the log, just pointing it out.


Also just noticed this:

initializing...
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6/build/include/linux/version-*.h: No such file or directory

Then farther down:

error: File not found: /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1-18478-root/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1.fc6-root-root/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel

And at the end:

RPM build errors:
File not found: /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1-18478-root/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.33.6-1.fc6-root-root/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel
