Hi,
Unfortunately, the full fslview sources are not contained in the
source only distribution. Sorry this wasn't mentioned on the
download page - we've added a message now. However, the binary
distrubtions that include fslview do come with sources for the
main fslview modules (but not qt libraries etc). I'd recommend
taking the redhat binary distribution and seeing if the binary
version of fslview worked, and then if not, trying to compile from
the sources against local libraries. With any luck one of these
routes will work, although we have never tried anything with
mandrake before, so this is new territory.
Glad to hear the rest of the build was successful.
If you have any config files, or list of changes required to make it
work on mandrake, please send them to me directly and I'll make them
available via the FAQ for now, and incorporate them into the
next release. Given redhat's recent business decisions we are
trying to make sure we directly support more flavours of linux in
the future.
As for netscape, the easiest thing at the moment is to edit the
$FSLDIR/tcl/webhelp.tcl file and change the call to netscape
to whatever browser you prefer. In the next release we will
have an easier configuration system for this.
All the best,
Mark
