fireglcontrolpanel + FC6

[bobgun04]

I might try to reinstall and see what happens. I tried creating the link and it didn't work. I am wondering if I am having a conflict with the 32bit stuff it needs that I think I have installed plus the 64 bit stuff I have installed.

As ati mentions on thier page.

The following 32 bit packages must be installed in order for 64 bit drivers to install and work properly:
? XFree86-Mesa-libGL
? libstdc++
? libgcc
? XFree86-libs
? fontconfig
? expat
? freetype
? zlib

At this link.

Do you know if the 8.30 drivers allow the desktop effects?

take care,
Bob

8.30 drivers do not allow desktop effects.
One of the things I did to get it to work (as I described earlier with linking some off .so files) is try to compile the control panel as stated earlier in this thread. You might notice /usr/bin/ld reporting a few missing libraries (like -lqt not found) and you might try symbolically linking the .so lib files like I described earlier.

I successfully compiled and installed the 8.30.3 drivers on an AMD64 machine. the only thing I did to get rid of the control panel problems was to create the following link:

ln -s /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/ /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64

as root.

I have followed the instructions in this post.

and made the following symlink

ln -sf /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib

I am now getting the following error

[root@dh7c8rb1 ati]# make

Thanks Michael and cardinal

As soon as I added the proper link is compiled perfectly with no errors. So thanks again. I was almost going to install ubuntu but I prefer Fedora.

Take care,

Strange... I was getting this:
[root@am64 ati]# make
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/lib64/qt-3.3/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lqt-mt -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lICE -lSM -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm -lXinerama -lXrender -lfreetype -lXxf86vm -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXft
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fireglcontrol.qt3.gcc4.1.1] Error 1

And this fixed it:

[root@am64 ati]# ln -s /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so /usr/lib

I have tried both symlinks with no success , i am borderline getting ready to start from scratch, not that I think that will help.

Are you running into the same error or what?

[hookooekoo]

yeah the same one as posted above.

[Michael]

If you wanted, you could throw fireglcontrolpanel out of the RPM build process. If you need help with that just let me know.
