  What I did when I got the "jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin" file, I:

  - moved the file to "/lib";

  - I cd'd to "/lib";

  - I executed the file "sh jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin";

  - I cd'd to "/usr/bin";

  - I created a symbolic link for the java compiler:

  "ln -s /lib/jdk1_5_0_07/bin/javac"

  "ln -s /lib/jdk1_5_0_07/bin/jar"

• Motif

  FreeWRL does not need Motif, but, it looks soo much better with it.

  Install RPMS in the following order:

  (the command "rpm -Uvh will work)

  • (From Disc 3) libXp-devel-1.0.0-2.2.i386.rpm

  • (From Disc 4) openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.2.i386.rpm

  • (From Disc 4) openmotif-devel-2.3.0-0.1.9.2.i386.rpm

  • (From Disc 3) mesa-libGLw-6.4.2-6.i386.rpm

  • (From Disc 4) mesa-libGLw-devel-6.4.2-6.i386.rpm

  • (From Disc 3?) mesa-libGLU-devel-6.4.2-6.i386.rpm

• Create symbolic links

  create the following links, if they do not exist:

  cd /usr/lib

  ln -s libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so

  ln -s libGLw.so.1 libGLw.so

• execute "perl Makefile.PL"

  Go into the freewrl directory, and execute the above command. Note: there might be a lot of warnings; ignore them.

• execute "make install"

  Note: there might be a lot of warnings, ignore them.

• run a test

  If you get the following error message:

  "freewrl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libGLw.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied"

• if you get the above error message, edit /etc/selinux/config

  remove all lines

  add a line:

  "SELINUX=disabled"
