Its me again with another problem. I installed opengl yesterday and got it working. I had some time
today and decided to try to install Allegro again. I can tell you it did not go well. Maybe someone can
help me out on this.
This is the package I downloaded from pkgs.org for Mageia 7: lib64allegro5.2-5.2.4.0-3.mga7.x86_64.rpm
I first installed it with yum. It looked like it installed. In searching /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory I found
nothing. I tried to install again and it said it was already installed. Oh boy, here we go again. Mageia is wearing
me down! So I tried to use urpmi with the correct switches to re-install. It showed it was installing. All went well.
Upon searching all the possible places it could be, I found nothing. I DON"T THINK MAGEIA LIKES ME AT ALL!
One more time I need help. If anyone knows how to stop Mageia from writing files to the .cache directory I
will be all set. Thanks guys!!!
I just ran the yum reinstall command and this is what it reported:
- Code: Select all
[root@localhost Downloads]# yum reinstall lib64allegro5.2-5.2.4.0-3.mga7.x86_64.rpm
