<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Crossfire looks like an
excellent game, but I'm running into nothing but roadblocks trying to get it
installed. I'm a bit of a linux newbe; please bear with me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm running Red Hat linux 7.1
and want to play crossfire without connecting to any external server. (So I have
to run the server locally, I believe?) </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I
downloaded the three main tar files (crossfire-1.0.0.tar.gz,
crossfire-client-1.0.0.tar.gz, and crossfire-maps-1.0.0.tar.gz) and extracted
all the files. For the server, when I try ./configure, I get a
message basically saying it can't find the file. The same happens when I
try the client.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I checked and I have all the GTK
libraries installed, however xpm is nowhere to be found, not even on the
installation disks. I downloaded and attempted to install the xpm library
version that was in the old RH 6.1 version, but got a message
saying it conflicted with some other installed packages (something like
XFree86, if memory serves) and refused to install. Unless xpm was
incorprated into another package, it seems XPM just isn't possible for Red Hat
7.1. I don't know if that's the source of the problem or not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In any case, I'd be thankful for any help!
Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
