Hello all,
I am very new to FlightGear. I saw it mentioned on-line and would love to give it a try. Here's my current issue:
I am using Fedora Core 5. I have installed openal with a build date of 20060204. However when I try to install the RPM for FlightGear, it fails with a dependency issue, saying I need openal >= 20050209.
Last I checked, 20060204 IS >= 20050209. Any hints out there?
Thanks!

This might be a little late. I would suggest to use the openal rpms supplied by the download section in the flightgear website. I was able to get it to install on Fedora Core 5.

That did it. I removed the installed version of openal and installed the one from the flightgear site. The RPM installed just fine.
However, now it fails with e freeglut error. I gotta go track that down.

Check which version of freeglut you are using. I found that the pre-installed version 2.4 doesn't work so I uninstalled it and installed the older version 2.2. That should solve the problem if you are using the pre-compiled binary from the website.
If that still doesn't work, I would suggest that you go and compile the source code.
