dole 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Hello I am trying to install the new intel driver (IEGD 8) of Fedora 6. Intel website allows to download rpm package (no tarball - why?) and the latter tells XFree86 is needed. Why, if I use X11? Am I doing the right thing? Is there an updated link to installing the driver? thanks Share this post Link to post
dole 0 Posted February 19, 2008 The biggest problem: rpm contains a bunch of pre-compiled .so and .o files and the Intel site says that the content of this rpm has to be compiled. How should this be put together? Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Can you supply a link from where you downloaded the software? Most likely, if this rpm was compiled for Fedora 6, then it is a matter of installing the rpm. The documentation I found on an earlier version stated that it was for Xfree86 and well as X11. In terms of why rpm rather than a compiler package, you have to ask Intel, if that is who designed the package. Probably has to do with expected dependencies for a tar package that needs to be compiled, rather than an rpm package that may contain all the needed components. Share this post Link to post
