Linux Help?

[Gerrard]

Hey, I\'ve browsed the FAQ\'s and most of those are oriented for gameplay, and a quick search of \'install\' gave me tips on finding the right \'.exe\' file. Well as most of you know, those don\'t exist in the linux world. So if you could point me to a Linux help file, or a post that I didn\'t see, that would be awesome. I had no problem downloading, gunziping, or untaring the file, but I\'m lost as to what I need to do now.
This is my error when I attempt to run psclinet ( or psclient-bin)
./psclient-bin
no CEL environment variable set!
Warning: Failed to load `gl3d\'; use \'-verbose\' argument for details.
Warning: Failed to load `gl3d\'; use \'-verbose\' argument for details.
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl\'
aws-debug: Couldn\'t find iGraphics2D plugin!!
psclient: No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!

I probably just need a library or something installed, but I\'m not sure. Thanks for the help.

hey gerard it looks like you need to install a driver for 3d acceleration.

What graphics card do you have? I assume you didn\'t compile the game you downloaded the binaries right?

Check that 3d acceleration is enabled for you x server and then make sure you have an openGL driver installed for your card.

ATI Radeon 7500
3D Xfree86 is running.
Yes I downloaded the binaries.
Not sure if I have drivers installed though, but I haven\'t had any trouble before.

Thanks for replying though.

you may find it easiest to get the game running if you download the source and compile it. I found the client runs much faster that way.

I had a question about \'jam\' but i found out it was a replacement for make. I just installed the rpm for jam.

I made a note about a possible solution to this in my notes here. Look for the section on \"Get Crystal Space\" where it talks about bison

Try

\"CRYSTAL=/opt/crystal CEL=/opt/crystal/bin ./psclient-bin\"

Worked for me, anyway.  If you have CS installed in some other weird place, change the directories.  If this works, edit \"psclient\" (which is just a tiny shell script) so that these variables are set right.

Why do these variables point to ./ in the precompiled tarball, anyway?  I can\'t see how that would be correct for anyone.
