hi I downloaded cd1 for lycoris and I would like to get c++ on it. gcc doesn''t seem to be on it. I think a IDE would be better. What would be the best one and I don''t want to have to build it. Can a free Dev c++ for linux be dowloaded? Also my sound doesn''t work under lycoris. I have a creative labs sound blaster card. Would anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks

I''ve never used Lycoris, but I think GCC comes on the second CD (it is aimed at desktop users, who don''t need a compiler). Dev C++ for *nix is dead. Instead, you can look into something like Anjuta (GTK+) or KDevelop (Qt/KDE) or other editors (VIM, Emacs, NEdit, Glimmer, Kate, et cetera) and a terminal.

Sound should be easy to fix, I''m not sure why it failed to be setup automatically. Type ''modprobe emu10k1'' (emu10k1 is the name of the chip in sound blaster cards) to load the driver. You will probably want to add ''emu10k1'' (on its own line) to /etc/modules too.

I briefly used Lycoris and had a similar sound card issue. I ended up finding that Lycoris had incorrectly detected my Sound Blaster. I had to remove the bad config info from a file, unfortunately I can't remember the name of said file, but it seems it was an rc (mostlikely in /etc/rc.something) file. Mine was an isa sound card, but if I remember correctly, after a re-boot, it detected my card properly and set it up.

I think Null is right about the compiler and libraries being on the second CD, as well as the additional install software. I found this slightly annoying, as you must have the compiler and libs to compile most software before install. Of course you are supposed to use RPMs, and to their credit, almost every piece of software one would want was already installed and configured. I also found that, and this may have changed since then, you had to use the lycoris ported RPMs to install properly. Proprietary on top of proprietary...

Hopefully this helps...

Cheerio,
Aaron

Why would they not have dev c++ for linux? If I use Kdevelop RPM how would I get it to show up on the start up menu?

You mean type modprobe in the shell right?!

What do you mean by this?

Thanks!!!

So you removed a file that had isa in it?

I only downloaded cd1 and it didn''t ask me for cd2 so how did you install another cd?

Thanks

If I remember correctly Lycoris'' dev CD is number 3 or 4. Get those and then you''ll be able to install gcc and all...

You''re welcome.

No, actually I edited a file that had an entry for my sound card in it. The file had other important information in it as well, so removing the file completely would probably break more things that it would fix.

As I said, unfortunately I can''t remember the file name, or I would provide more detailed instructions.

You may get your best answers on this by emailing the support people for Lycoris.

Lycoris has an option to install additional software, I never used the second CD so coulndn''t say what the exact process is, but it was something like browsing the available packages and choosing what else to install.

Sorry I can''t be more precise.

Aaron
