Hoi,

i tried yesterday to install the tardist from canavan, but got problems with dependencies of SDL. Before that, i installed exactly the versions mentioned in the first post by Martin Steen. I must say, i'm new to IRIX and i'm a bit confused, why there is still a dependency conflict. These are the results during the tardist-installation of neko_sslow-0.0.tardist:

Code: Select all


   Inst> go
   

   ERROR: Conflicts must be resolved.
   

   

   neko_sslow.sw.eoe cannot be installed because of missing prerequisites:
   

   1a. Do not install neko_sslow.sw.eoe (1)
   

   1b. Also install neko_sdl.sw.lib (9 - 2147483647) from an additional
   

   distribution -- insert another CD or specify another software
   

   distribution.
   

   

   

   Resolve conflicts by typing "conflicts choice choice ..."
   

   or try "help conflicts"

The system is an Onxy2 running IRIX 6.5.

I took this tardist:

ftp://ftp.nekochan.net/pub/downloads/Nekoware/current/neko_sdl-1.2.13.tardist

From the filename it should be exactly the version which should be required. That's why i'm confused. Anyone got a copy of the version from Martin Steen? Maybe i could work with that.

@jpstewart: Thanks a lot! That helped me really a lot! I try it the next time and give you a feedback.

I'm searching for a rendering-project i can start to show the power of the system. I tried yesterday the homebrew slow spheres and I was able to start that animation. The problem is, that i can't use it for demonstration purposes.

Do you guys can give me a hint, if there is any rendering project for a live-demonstration i can use?

The SDL from the beta-repo did the trick. I was able to start slow spheres now:

It's pretty cool but i'm still looking for something impressive for a live-demonstration of the power that system provides. I started another thread for that discussion. Maybe someone could give me a hint for a rendering-project i can use for such a purpose.
