MesaLib provides libgl.so (not sure if they also provide the .h files, but that makes sense). I think what the directions mean, is not to compile the optional mesaglut tarball, just mesalib/demo's (if you want demo's). Do the applications need GLUT or just GL? [GLUT's supose to be a utility toolkit to make GL programming easier]. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: Brittish Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
