ykcosmo Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 it said: Unable to find the system utility "ld"; please make sure you have the package "binutilg" installed, if you do have binutils installed ,then please check that "ld" is in your path. so ,what is "binutilg"? I can' find it in utility. and how can I modify the environment of linux, set the path??? thankx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallkien Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 ld is a linker and is part of "binutils" , very much needed to build packages. No clue what binutilg is, hope thats a typo. try " rpm -q binutils " if its installed check your path, should be somewhere in /etc either profile, profile.env or whatever. Examine the files and look for "export PATH=....)" many distros handles these slightly differently. If you setup linux correctly you should have binutils installed. sometimes when you su you may not have access to the entire $PATH. login as root instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixNAN Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 if you do a su - root that takes care of the problem of not being able to access everything there is a difference between su root and su - root su - root is the same as logging into root. Just an FYI. Cheers, Nate Nesler P.S. Its a cool tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykcosmo Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 greate thx. what did you say "su - root "mean? I don't understand "su", what is it? my english is poor.sorry. I login as "root" .and now I installed linux8.0redhat. I can run maya under it now, but failed with opengl. I think that's nv card driver problem. I downloaded the newest nv driver .run file. but still failed to install. the same problem. with erro on "ld".. sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 su allows you to get access as a different user. so you can login to a normal account, and get root access in a terminal with "su - root" or just "su -". did you check for binutils? here's a link to the package if you need it. http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/sear...em=redhat&arch= did the nvidia .run fail to install, or just doesnt work? you need to change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4). the .run file prints instructions, when it has installed.

edward Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Personally, I always use the spacebar to tumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykcosmo Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 so, you defined new hotkeys? now, I used F1, F2, F3 for camara tools.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 alt+LMB wont work in linux, you need to use ALT+SHIFT+LMB or change the key mappings in gnome/kde. as Edward said spacebar (i.e. use Houdini) is the best idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykcosmo Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 how to change key mapping in gonme or kde?? can you tell me the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
