Need my fix ;-)
I'm trying to install vegastrike either by CVS or the provided rpm file. Either way I seem to be missing OpenAL. I know what it is, I just can't seem to find it to install it. Has someone gotten Vegastrike to install on Fedora Core 3? If so, could you please provide some insight as I seem to have run out of ideas.

Hi,
Download the linux installer : http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/files/linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh
and launch # linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh
chmod +x linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh before if necesary
Never tred it, but this would be the way I would do.
By the way, did you check the FAQ and the manual about installation on Linux. And the forum ?

Well, their RPMs are terrible and fairly outdated. They have hard dependencies against strange package names (i.e. OpenAL) instead of allowing RPM discover the dependencies. And, the RPMS install to /usr/local. I forced the RPM to install with --nodeps but it segfaults when calling into openal.
So, one would need to write a new RPM spec and rebuild everything from source. Or skip the RPM and just run their installer script. Either way you still need openal.
Add http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository then: yum install openal openal-devel
Create a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/newrpms.repo containing: [newrpms] name=NewRPMS baseurl=http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/ enabled=1
Then import the newrpms GPG key: rpm --import http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/gpg-pubkey-newrpms.txt
I don't know if this helps, but I installed Flight Gear and later did a yum update.
yum update found that it needed openal and took care of it.
i wonder if now that you have the game installed (i'm assuming it went thru) if you can do a yum update?

Thanks,
Added http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository and now all is well :-)
