Having trouble upgrading to 2.3 or using wheel art SOLVED
« on: February 28, 2018, 02:51:19 AM »
So after some great help on another post about finally getting AM up and going I have it at least installed with emulators and most artwork setup.   I am currently having a problem with loading any wheel artwork.  I got the snaps and marquees loaded pretty quickly but  none of the wheels in the themes want to load.  I have tired numerous different places to have them stored in such as with my roms then pointing there just like I did with my snaps in AM using the $HOME but after reading and trying a few things another forum I read said the person had luck with putting them in the scraper and pointing the file there but I had no luck on that. 

So after checking I realized that I was on the Daveg version 2.1 and wanted to try my hand at the new version thinking maybe that would help with my wheel art issue.  When I try and do the compile I receive a gl/glu.h error and from some reading it seems to be tied to OpenGL.  So I tried using a different ppa to upgrade to OpenGL 4.2 hoping that would fix what I needed but I was left with the same error while compiling in the end.

I am very new linux and have learned as I went along so if there is anything you think I am missing that would even be considered basic knowledge for a linux user please let me know because it may not be basic to me.  Both using Lubuntu 16.04 OS current specs we have are:

Dell Optiplex 380
2.93 E7500
1gig ram
AMD HD 6450

Dell optiplex 320
1.8 Dual core E2160
1 gig ram
AMD Radeon 6450

Playing the games on the older attract through Retroarch is no problem and even games I've tested up to Gamecube run fine.   Attached are showing the PPA I have for the new graphics drivers.  I took off the DaveG thinking that might help when I was trying to do the new compile.  Also wanted to show that the picture names for the wheel also match the names of the roms just like the snap art.  So again, any help on fixing either of these issues would be highly appreciated, thanks!

SOLVED:  After a TON of searching on how to fix the missing file I had to install libglu-dev then did a recompile and was fine.  Being a new Linux user the wiki was not very clear at all for mickleson on how to update correctly and move new files into place from how I was reading it or somehow my install was different than a normal experience but I had to point the desktop icon to the new bin file and replace the .attract files that were there currently with the new ones it put in the share folder.  Normally I would delete the thread but I'll leave it up in case anyone experiences the same problem.
