Hi, I am having some problems trying to run the demo programs from the svgalib1-dev package. After the compile I try to run the 'fun' program, here is the error I get:
> abapc# ls -al fun > -rwsr-xr-x 1 jsg HT 13177 Oct 10 15:06 fun > abapc $ ./fun > svgalib: Cannot open /dev/console. Hmm, why doesn't this work? /dev/console looks OK: > abapc $ ls -al /dev/console > lrwxrwxrwx 1 jsg HT 9 Jan 24 1997 /dev/console -> /dev/tty0 > abapc $ ls -al /dev/tty0 > crw-rw---- 1 root root 4, 0 Oct 10 11:12 /dev/tty0 Maybe it's not working because I do not have root permissions? So I log in as root and try again: > abapc $ su root > Password: xxxxxxx > abapc# ./fun > svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. What's this? I give up, better ask on the debian-user mailing list... One more look at the svgalib libraries: > abapc# ls -l /usr/lib/libvga*.* > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 10 11:18 /usr/lib/libvga.so > -> > libvga.so.1.2.10 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 10 11:18 /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 > -> > libvga.so.1.2.10 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 172028 Feb 27 1997 /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.10 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 10 11:18 /usr/lib/libvgagl.so > -> > libvgagl.so.1.2.10 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 10 11:18 /usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1 > -> > libvgagl.so.1.2.10 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46880 Feb 27 1997 /usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1.2.10 Can anyone help me with this please?
