Bug 4488 – app-games/asc install fails with "open_wr: /dev/mem"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sam Wouters 2002-07-03 12:50:33 UTC]

When installing asc, the install halts in the configure part of the 
installation with the following error: 
 
checking for PARAGUI - version >= 1.0.1... svgalib: Cannot open /dev/mem. 
no 
*** Could not run PARAGUI test program, checking why... 
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means 
*** that the run-time linker is not finding PARAGUI or finding the wrong 
*** version of PARAGUI. If it is not finding PARAGUI, you'll need to set your 
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point 
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that 
*** is required on your system 
*** 
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although 
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
configure: error: *** PARAGUI version 1.0.0 not found!

Are you using the "svgalib" support?
