I've been attempting to install glew in order to run Spring in linux. However, I've run into a snag. When I try and run make on the makefile in the glew directory I get the following error:

cc -shared -Wl,-soname=libGLEW.so.1.3 -o lib/libGLEW.so.1.3.5 src/glew.pic_o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXmu -lXi -lGLU -lGL -lXext -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libGLEW.so.1.3.5] Error 1

Any suggestions on how I might go about resolving this?

Real question is why u not using a prebuilt rpm ?

All i know is /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so is an xorg / x11 shared library
Hope it helps

edit the error u get is it unable to find the above lib Xi

I googled for you, and stumbled into a comment about using GCC 3.3x to compile it. I think the latest dev may compile with GCC 4.x im not sure someone did say but I can't test it
(on x86 despite my amd64).

http://glew.sourceforge.net/index.html

Try a stable release or if all else fails try current development version from cvs/svn whatever is used.

Have you checked you have all the development packages first before compiling?

You can find glew in rpm in the dribble repo (search dribble and fedora on google).

I took the i386 rpm and it worked for me (on a i386 FC6).

Good luck.

No it has been removed :/

But glew source rpm for fedora 4 is still present. maybe you can try to rebuild it.
