No luck even if I skip the autogen.sh step (after nuking the directory and extracting again just to make sure it is all back to defaults). Can you export an "rpm -qa" so I can compare to my own system and see what I'm missing?

It compiles cleanly for me on a Red Hat 5 system, which should be nearly identical to CentOS 5. The BZFlag source tarball includes a working configure script, so after unpacking it you should skip the autogen.sh step and proceed directly to ./configure (do not pass GO, do not collect $200). Can I g...

Unfortunately I'm sure there are other things still too out of date. It compiles further, but still errors. Moving on to EL6 instead. Would have been nice to get bzfs and bzadmin working though (headless server for hosting matches).

$ rpm -q libtool
libtool-1.5.22-7.el5_4

Yup, stock EL5 is too old. ATRPMs has newer and easy to drop in:

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.net/s ... 1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh libtool-2.2.6-15.5.el5.1.i386.rpm

Here is a screenlog dump of the whole process.

Hey, I'm not a coder and don't begin to understand the underlying communications that bzflag is using (I'm guessing the initial connection is tcp based, but the gameplay data is udp-based for speed, right?). However, two features I'd like to see added or at least considered. They have both a geek co...
