ATI driver 8.30.3 Installation trouble on FC6

[sherl]

Hello,

I just join this forum which is very cool and helfull. Thanks to everyone for this.
However, i just updrage for FC5 to FC6 on my laptop (Dell Latitude D610) with ATI Radeon X300 and i have some trouble making ATI driver works.

I try both 8.30.3 and 8.29.6 without any success => still have a fireglcontrolpanel error.

Here is the (part1) ouput of:
# ./ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

See: http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=318#post1860

Following that should fix your problem.

[sherl]

Thanks for your answer Mikeal,
I've tried to link /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib
and same for /usr/lib/qt-3-3/lib64 to /usr/lib/qt3-3/lib

$ ls -ld /usr/lib*
drwxr-xr-x 128 root root 106496 Nov 1 13:07 /usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 1 13:59 /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 30 04:04 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 1 14:35 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib64 -> ./lib

But it doesnt fix my problem.
Do i forget something ?

[Michael]

Just making sure, but you do have qt-devel 3.3 installed?

[sherl]

On my distrib, making link /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib/qt3-3/lib64 are not mandatory.
I remove both links (i just created before) /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib/qt3-3/lib64

And after reading the whole thread you mentioned, i found that i need to create linkslibXxf86vm.so and libXmu.so

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libXxf86vm.so.1 libXxf86vm.so
# ln -s libXmu.so.6 libXmu.so

And it solves my problem

You generated the kernel module... so install it :)
