No hardware acceleration installed, brand new install from ISO discs.

install the following rpms. Note, I have the rpm commands that I used; I had copied the contents of each ISO disc to the local filesystem.

• rpm -Uvh ./disc2/glibc-devel-2.4-25.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc2/gcc-4.1.0-25.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc3/freetype2-devel-2.1.10-16.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc3/fontconfig-devel-2.3.94-17.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc3/xorg-x11-devel-6.9.0-48.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc2/libjpeg-devel-6.2.0-16.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc2/zlib-devel-1.2.3-13.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./disc3/libpng-devel-1.2.8-17.i586.rpm

and, from the net, because I did not have the last disc:

• rpm -Uvh openmotif-devel-2.2.4-21.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-17.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-17.i586.rpm

Make some symbolic links for compiling:

• cd /usr/lib

• ln -s libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so

• ln -s libXm.so.3 libXm.so

• ln -s libGLw.so.1 libGLw.so

• cd -

and, for runtime work:

• rpm -Uvh ./disc2/sox-12.17.9-14.i586.rpm

• rpm -Uvh ./rpms/disc2/ImageMagick-6.2.5-16.i586.rpm

There are some changes to "vrml.conf" required.

• change RPM_PREFIX in vrml.conf to: "/usr/src/packages"

• and RPM_OSNAME_FILE in vrml.conf to: "/etc/SuSE-release"

• and the NETSCAPE* lines (3 of them) to: "/usr/lib/browser-plugins/"
