Re: Need help installing SVGAlib for use with AdvanceMAME on Redhat FC5

I removed the svgalib rpm and tried to do install from from source.  This is
the last few lines of what I got:

/home/multicade/svgalib-1.9.24/kernel/svgalib_helper/main.c:699: error: too
few                               arguments to function
âclass_device_createâ
make[3]: *** [/home/multicade/svgalib-1.9.24/kernel/svgalib_helper/main.o]

make[1]: *** [default] Error 2

make: *** [installmodule] Error 2

It appears that svgalib doesn't play well with an up to date RedHat Fedora
system.
What distribution are people using successfully with SVGA and advancemame?
I am willing to re-install to get it to work.  I would prefer to stick with
any easy distribution such as Suse, Ubuntu, etc...

Thanks again!!
