Having troubles installing Armagetron, using redhat 8.0

but if anyone has good step by step instructions for the install they would be appreciated
thanx :)

Im using Redhat 8, I saw your post and got curious and downloaded the armagetron_src_0.1.4.9.tar.gz file from its homepage. :rolleyes:

Simply uncompress the file, get into the folder and run ./configure and then make
as soon as make is done, type ./armagetron and that should have the game up and running!

I keep getting an error when i do ./configure
it says "configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables."

You probably need to install the gcc-c++ package.

You probably also need all of your distro's development packages. Restart the installer (reboot with CD 1 in the drive), select upgrade, and add the development package "group". Let it install the files, and then reboot.

ok i think i have everything installed but now when i do ./armagetron i get the error "Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device"

What video card do you have? The error states that you do not have SDL installed (Mesa packages).

I have a Geforce Ti 4400
and i'm pretty sure i installed all the required packages
