Re: [linrad] Linrad and Mandrake 9.2

[Richard Hosking <richardh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have tried various options and got the libraries libvgagl.so.1 and 
libvga.so.1 into /usr/lib/  by copying them directly. I gather this is 
not sufficient, however, and I cant get the full package to compile.
When I rpm linrad, it says it doesnt see these files
Oh well - guess I will go and spend my money.

svgalib doesnt seem to be a package included in the Mandrake 9.2 distro. 
I got mine from one of the Linux magazines at the newsagent. It seems 
Mandrake is starting to get away a bit fom the Open Source ethos towards 
a commercial model - how is supporting a commercial entity suporting the 
Linux community?
