Not exactly. Two autoconf options that vary widely among distros is --libdir and --with-dri-driverdir. Also, the install needs to be done as root if installing /usr. I would instead say something like this: When configuring Mesa, there are three autoconf options that affect the install location that you should take care with: <code>--prefix</code>, <code>--libdir</code>, and <code>--with-dri-driverdir</code>. To install Mesa into the sytem location where it will be available for all programs to use, set <code>--prefix=/usr</code>. Set <code>--libdir</code> to where you Linux distribution installs system libraries, usually either <code>/usr/lib</code> or <code>/usr/lib64</code>. Set <code>--with-dri-driverdir</code> to the directory where your Linux distribution installs DRI drivers. To find your system's DRI driver directory, try executing <code>find /usr -type d -name dri</code>. For example, if the <code>find</code> command listed <code>/usr/lib64/dri</code>, the set <code>--with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib64/dri</code>. After determining the correct values for the install location, configure Mesa with <code>./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=xxx --with-dri-driverdir=xxx</code> and then install with <code>sudo make install</code>. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
