Hi there,

This is the racer game (http://www.racer.nl) - a driving simulater more than an
arcade game, which has been requested in the forums
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28656). This is a binary package, as
the source is only available for the unstable version. It depends on
virtual/opengl
media-libs/libsdl
sys-libs/lib-compat
as well as an ebuild I submitted previously, media-libs/fmod-3.61.

There is also a shell script included to run the game as the paths to some of
the data etc, are hardcoded, so simply adding the /opt/racer/bin directory to a
PATH won't work correctly.

I would suggest app-games/racer or racer-bin.

Thanks, Mike.

I tried using the ebuilds (following your directions in
finehttp://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28656) and it all emerged fine.

But... it doesn't run. :(

bash-2.05b$ racer
./bin/racer: error while loading shared libraries: libGLcore.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I created a symlink from /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 ->
/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so.1 but to no avail:

bash-2.05b$ racer
./bin/racer: relocation error: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol:
__nvsym14813

Oops, the actual error for after the symlink creation:

bash-2.05b$ racer
./bin/racer: relocation error: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol:
glPrimitiveRestartNV

D'oh, was tinkering and had done 'opengl-update xfree' earlier, all it needed
was an 'opengl-update nvidia' and it's worked.

I hope to see the dev version of this game in portage soon!

ok added racer-bin-0.5.0 into portage.
