Suse 9.3 i386 and ATI issue

smokinJO · 11-17-2005, 06:08 PM

I have another post about me X700 Pro and Suse 9.3 but I have since updated the kernel via YOU. But I still can not get the driver installed correctly. I now get this message.

linux:~ # sh '/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh'
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 39: gcc: command not found
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 45: [: !=: unary operator expected
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
./firegl_public.c: required file is missing in build directory

How do I acquire this file or how do I make it?? The X700Pro is a great card but Im ready to chunk it and reinstall my FX5200 just for the 3d!!!!!!!! Some one please help.

Let's break this down a bit:

You're making this as root. Good!

Ah. This script does not know where to find the Gnu C Compiler (gcc). You'll need to help it out. This is from my SuSE 9.2 pro system.

Code:

fluffy:~ # which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
fluffy:~ # gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

On my system, gcc is located in /usr/local/bin/gcc. I can tell it is included in root's $PATH, becuase I can test for the version at the command line. If you can't get output from gcc -v, you'll have to add it to root's $PATH.
