rpm's are only nice when you use an rpm based sytem......and if you do then rpmfind.net should be your number 1 bookmark.

running as root, here's the last couple of lines that are outputted when I run the "make install"

/bin/sh: ldconfig: command not found
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brandon/downloads/imwheel-1.0.0pre1/gpm-1.19.3'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I'm not sure what the means but I've tried half a dozen times and I get the same result.

Aussie · 09-01-2002, 07:27 PM

You have to fix this error.
/bin/sh: ldconfig: command not found

BrandonJG · 09-01-2002, 07:44 PM

thats kinda what I was thinking. What is that command?
Any ideas why I dont have it available? I can see that the file resides in my /sbin directory.

This is fresh install of RedHat 7.3.

Aussie · 09-01-2002, 08:12 PM

Thats where it should be, when you su to root try doing "su -", the - will set the full root path, and then try "make install" again.

BrandonJG · 09-01-2002, 08:38 PM

well that did it. It compiled. Thanks a bunch Aussie. Is there any reason not to use "su -" all the time instead of just "su"?

Aussie · 09-01-2002, 09:02 PM

It's a good idea in redhat.

Alright, I'm a newbie to Linux. It's cool and all and I hope it becomes the next big thing in desktops for a lot of reasons. But WHY DO I HAVE TO INSTALL MY INTELLIMOUSE OPTICAL USB 5 BUTTON WITH THIS LOW LEVEL PROGRAMMING CRAP!?????

I mean, jeeesh Linux community. Get with the program. I'm a brainless Windows user like the rest of humanity. Stick this model in the list of available mice and be done with it! Thanks.

You'll never kill MS with crap like this.

oh, but I do think its cool how Aussie and other are nice enough to take the time to help us mortals through this junk...

Problems installing hardware have nothing whatsoever to do with linux and/or the linux community, it is the responsibility of the company that makes the hardware to provide the support for their products, so go and post your rants at their web site.

thanks aussie, i was a lil chicken to try, but after folowing your instructions, everything works fine ! my 1st scripts work too !

time to get the camera, and cd-writer workin

Make sure you have the XFree86-devel rpm's installed.

Your welcome :-)

Eyecannon · 12-27-2002, 10:55 PM

OK, first off, thanks for all the help with this... I have gotten everything almost 100% totally working. I have a Intellimouse Optical with one button on either side, and I want the left button to be End and the right button to be Escape, and also I want the mousewheel button to be Home.

Here is my script to run imwheel:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
imwheel -k -b "267"

xmodmap:

Code:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

and .imwheelrc:

Code:

".*"
 None, Up, Home
 None, Down, End
 None, Down, Escape

What obvious thing am I doing wrong?

With this setup, only the mousewheel button (Home) and leftside button (End) work, the right button does nothing. When I capture with xev, it gives the code for Next, whatever that is.

Also, if I'm just doing the two side buttons, they will work (Escape and End work) So I know the Escape syntax is at least semi-correct.
