I have tried to install games on fc4 but had no luck ,many are telling me its down to the new version of the gcc compiler that they changed to,it always gets errors during the "MAKE" is there any games out there what will be ok with this compiler version.

We really need more information before anyone can start to troubleshoot your problem. For starters, try including the gcc version, then you should include the error you are getting in your post. I don't know of anyone here that uses FC4, so we don't know what versions of software comes with it.

Start with that then we can go from there.

gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8) sir.

Hmm, sorry that previous post was by me. I got logged out.

From what I can tell from the error you posted it looks like more of a permission error. Are you running make as root, try that?

Also the game you are trying to compile 'Gornons Hammer' is still in pre alpha stage, which means their code is going to be ultra buggy.

I was in root and user and this was a example , It happens with all games and software not just games with possible bugg's ,rpm seems to be alot more easy finding Dependencies but with tar and tar.gz that you extract and compile it seems to be more of a task finding Dependencies,With that and the new gcc it looks like i will have to wait for new stuff to come out thats compatable with it,or look at more distro's.

Are you using fc4 32bit or 64bit?
If your using 64bit I've had the same problem installing stuff.
Just a thought.

No , not got money to buy 64bit cpu :cry:

Thats me ^ not loged in.

Hmm, my guess is then its your version of gcc. I had some issues when I tried using 4.0 so I backed down to 3.3.5. Sorry I can't be of more help than that.
