Anyone tried KartingRace?

[telex4]

I came across a game called KartingRace on LinuxGames earlier (http://steinware.dk/downloads.php?title=KartingRace).

It looks really cool... nice OpenGL graphics, carting around tracks

The thing is, when I run it, it's REALLY slow... unbelievably slow, given that I can run Quake3 at 1280x1024 with no probs.

I couldn't get it to work at first, because it needs libfmod for which there isn't a proper ebuild yet. But somebody made some, and you can find them here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28656&highlight=fmod

can't get it to run too, there are missing dynamic libs libstdc++.so.5 ,
libgcc_s.so.1. That's the joy of binary software compiled on an unknown distrib...

Both libs are easily installed through portage though:

It's just GCC 3.2.1 in my example - not sure why you don't have GCC (properly?) installed!

[Bobbie]

I use gcc 2.95 and I don't have libgcc_s.so nor libstdc++.so.5 in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/
so i believe the program whas compiled with gcc 3.2 and it will not work with gcc 2.95 ?

[telex4]

That's probably the problem. Damn binary releases

[charlieg]

It was ok... but the kart kept on jerking all over the place, making it unplayable.

It's no Racer, that's for sure.
