I have mapped in linux and loaded my windows created .map file with no problem. What error did it give?
What version of GtkRadiant you have? Did you load your map direcly from windows drive or did you copy
the .map file to linux partition?
Is the file rights correct?

might be an issue with the way in which the linefeeds in the map file are represenrted when porting from Win to Lin

Ok.
What filesystems do you use? I am able to read windows partitions in linux (I have Mandrake 9.2)
From windows check out this: http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/view/8903

Radiant is very picky about drivers in linux it took about 2 months until I got it working.
see this thread: http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=6043&highlight=linux+radiant
Unzip your zip from command line.

You must first set file as executable before running the .run file … use:
chmod a+x [filename]
to give it executable rights… and then run it.

From the instructions I got with the nVidia linux driver, use something like this:
console prompt: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

To do the install.

buttrot >> To make sure it isn’t the linefeeds that shaffer is talking about, you could in Linux open the map file in a texteditor like joe or vi, and if there are weird characters at the end of each line you should try to convert it to linux style text document.

Redhat (and possibly others) includes a untility, dos2unix, which
can take care of CR/LF -> LF translations.

im not sure what i did the first time but i reinstalled EVERYTHING including knoppix3.4 and viola it worked. i just clicked on my windows partition in linux and dragged the .map file to desktop.

ok, back and i need help still, how do i install something on red hat 8 from a .run file?

(seven_dc) #11

Ok back to basics…

  1. Open shell or your favourite terminal.
  2. Go the directory where the .run file is
  3. change the file properties by giving the .run file execute rights -> chmod u+x filename.run
  4. type the filename with the current directory like: ./filename.run and hit enter.
