Very incompatible VCHIQ library when trying to run Quake3

[cybermaxpower]

Hi,

Please help im not sure where to post this but here goes

I’ve just installed Quake3 from information on http://mitchtech.net/install-quake-3-on-raspberry-pi/ on to the 2012-06-18 Debian “wheezy” public beta Image.

I get the following error message when I try run to ./start.sh

1028537591: vchiq_lib: Very incompatible VCHIQ library - cannot retrieve driver version
* failed to open vchiq instance

i have done both sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update to no effect.

What is VCHIQ library?
Is there a work around i could do to fix this?

Thank you,

Search the forums this has been resolved several times, look for rpi-update.

Thanks

I have searched this Forum http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/searc ... rpi+update & Searched Google for this.With no luck on finding a fix.

I have tried installing & running the rpi-update tool to see if the same error happen with that but rpi-update. It worked just fine with no error.

Too me it looks like a bug with vchiq library &/or 2012-06-18 Debian “wheezy” public beta image.
I cant see way or find a fix for this

if anyone has any idea on a easy way of fixing this please could you let me know,

Thank you,

I have the same problem when I try to run the Quake3. I also did the rpi-update succesfully, but it doesn't make any difference. How to fix this?

Hi jerhay,

look here:

With the recompiled version downloaded from the link in this post the "very incompatible" message is gone.

Best wishes,

I was having the same error :-Very incompatible VCHIQ library when trying to run Quake3

after installing quake 3 running on Raspbian “wheezy”

check out :- http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianQuake3

follow the instructions and after the install is complete and your new ioquake3.arm file is created in dir /home/pi/src/quake3
move/copy the file ioquake3.arm to your /home/pi/quake dir. Overwrite the file that is already there from you install of quake 3.

This worked for me and Quake is now up and running on Raspbian “wheezy”

I still get this message and I followed the instructions as per those instructions after I had the same issue. This originally fixed it, but now it came back:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/quake3 $ sudo ./ioquake3.arm
vchiq_lib: Very incompatible VCHIQ library - cannot retrieve driver version
* failed to open vchiq instance

Any help?
