[SOLVED] installing Livestation

[rejean]

Hi all!
I am trying to install Livestation from here;http://www.livestation.com/pages/download

After downloading it I follow the instruction;

Installing and running Livestation on Linux

Your download should start in a moment.

Once the file has downloaded, start a terminal session and navigate to the folder you downloaded the file to.
Type chmod +x ./Livestation-[version].run
Type ./Livestation-[version]-i386.run
Press q to skip the readme
Press y to accept the terms
Follow the prompts to complete installation. You may need sudo access to write some files
Once installed, type livestation & to run the application
Due to graphics driver issues, ATI and Intel graphics cards may exhibit flickering when using Livestation and Compiz or other OpenGL applications simultaneously. At present the only solution is to temporarily disable Compiz/Beryl while running Livestation.

So I have it installed but there is a problem;

Code: Select all

[root@localhost rejean]# chown -R rejean /usr/local/Livestation/
[root@localhost rejean]# livestation

So how can I fix this "libfreetype.so.6" problem?

So how can I fix this "libfreetype.so.6" problem?

It seems that libfreetype6 is missing on your system. You can check if libfreetype6 is installed by running:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qa | grep libfreetype6

if there is no output, you can install it via:

Code: Select all

# urpmi libfreetype6

please note there is a tainted and non-tainted version of this library. If you need the tainted version please ensure that the tainted repos are enabled
