INSTALLATION:
First, make sure that you have the following packages
installed:
Unpack the files from the tarball like this:
gunzip tuxkart-*.tar.gz
tar xvf tuxkart-*.tar
rm tuxkart-*.tar
cd tuxkart-*
(where '*' is the version of TuxKart you downloaded - eg 0.2.0)
...and then:
./configure
make
You can run the game from the directory you downloaded it
into - or (as 'root') you can install it into
/usr/local/share/games/tuxkart by typing;
make install
But it didn't work!
Well, the most common (by FAR) reason for problems is that
your OpenGL/Mesa is incorrectly installed - so before you
complain to any of the PLIB or TuxKart mailing lists, first
try running one of the example programs that comes with your
OpenGL implementation - or one of the Mesa or GLUT sample
programs.
If you those examples run OK - then go to the
PLIB home page and
download the PLIB examples.
If THOSE run correctly - but TuxKart doesn't then please get
in touch with the TuxKart mailing list and
we'll do our best to get you up and racing.
