[edistar]

Hello!
I wanted to try out the new ppracer alpha as it hast multiplayer mode etc. and it might be a lot of fun playing.
But when I run ./configure it just says:
configure: error: Cannot find GL library
What can I do? I have installed graphics drivers.....(nvidia)
I hope you can help!

First

checking for Mix_OpenAudio in -lSDL_mixer... no
*** SDL_mixer not found. Configuring without audio support.

You might want sound so I'll suggest you install SDL_mixer and SDL_mixer-dev


sudo apt-get install SDL_mixer SDL_mixer-dev



I see you're on a 64bit ubuntu/linux that might be the problem. I have no experience with 64 bit. But you might want to install linux32 file if you havn't and what I've heard you need to make symblinks into linux32 folder.
It's better if a 64 bit users can explain it more correctly, because I've absolutly no experience with 64 bit.

For some reason it's not finding GL, MesaGL or SDL Mixer. Make sure all are installed and then try passing options to configure to manually tell them where you installed those libs.

Thanks for helping,

How do I do that?
Btw.: when I did sudo apt-get install SDL_mixer SDL_mixer-dev it said that it could not find SDL_mixer...

sorry it should be

sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev

Happens when doing 10 things at the same time :P
