well after too many hours last nite of fooling around with different distro's i went back to mandrake and worked out my video glitch, well ive ran the updates and everything for my 10.1 and i downloaded the source of xchat.2.4.3.tar.bz2 and i extracted it fine, i ran ./configure and after a few moments i see something like checking for GLIB - version >=2.0.3 no ***Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... The test program failed to compile a link. See the config.log for the exact error that occured. This usually means glib is incorrectly installed. configure error cannot find glib. doing rpm -qa | grep glib i see the following libglib1.2-1.2.10-14mdk glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk glibc-utils-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk glibc-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk libtaglib0-1.3-1mdk libglib2.0_0-2.4.6-1mdk libdbus-glib-1_0-0.22-3mdk so i would assume that glib is installed, not really sure, been a few years since i used any linux operating system, when i try using the update software, i select all the items under glib and it gives me an error about loading the dvd into /dev/hdc or something like that, cant remember exact error, but after i insert the dvd in it just says cant read the device. pls help

alright i finally got SuSE 9.1 running smoothly, i downloaded the source of xchat, i untar'd it and when i try to run ./configure and it goes through trying to find a compiler it doesnt find any. error says no acceptable c compiler found in $PATH. now ive ran the update and everything is up to date, but some reason its not finding any compilers, pls help or i wont be installing any software lol.

well ive solved my own problem, i installed suse 9.1 and the hardware detector listed me as using an s3 card, but i guess since i am using virtual pc to host the operating system that is what it has to use, went through rest of process and all is smooth.

come on guys, theres been 15 views and not 1 comment ive switched distro's to debian, got the same error, now i am installing SuSE 9.1 and i can bet i get the same error, it will keep happening till one of you who view this thread reply to it, please give me a hand here. im going nuts...

Hey guys/gals, I just downloaded the dvd version of mandrake 10.1 and i have burned it 2 ways to be safe, one i just burned the iso, and the other i used ultraiso to extract contents and burned all of that. Now i am using microsoft virtual pc and intending on running mandrake through virtual pc only, whenever i try to use vpc and try to install mandrake 10.1 i get insert boot media into drive, well ive tried both of the dvd's i burned and neither of them are picking up. i do remember in my past experiences of needing a floppy disk that it grabs on boot and points it to the cd, ive tried looking several places and cant find much information on it, so can you guys tell me exactly what i needa do to get the floppy i need so i can install? thanks
