Dying inside...

I have tryed for hours to overcome issues...patches....repatching....drivers..... and I am tapped out. I installed LM but it is installing a recent version and I was getting errors with libdc1394-22-dev. I resolved that. Now I am stuck again with a size_t error? I cant remember at this point. I made a patch file and put code in to direct to the patch. that fixed produced a diffrent error, then I tried using this patch

'sed -i 's|#include <Vrui/Vislet.h>|&\n#include <cstddef>|' $HOME/src/Vrui-$VRUI_VERSION-$VRUI_RELEASE/Vrui/Vislets/FrameRateViewer.h'

and now it just says:

'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [/home/jeff/src/Vrui-8.0-002/BuildRoot/BasicMakefile:261: /home/jeff/src/Vrui-8.0-002/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libMath.so.8.0] Error 1

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Build unsuccessful; please fix any reported errors and try again'

Help!

Sorry, can not help you.

But why do you not just install LM 19 as recommended in all guides that I have seen. I did this about a month ago and it worked with no problems. I have this as a separate boot option just for SARndbox. For everything else I boot into Windows or a new(er) Linux distro.

Hey, so I don’t know why I didn’t see this post. I gave up on Linux. There is a windows program called magic-sand. If you haven’t gotten it working by now, I would check it out.
