[gentoo-user] eselect fouled

2008-03-02 Thread David Corbin
I have an ebuild saying that it cannot find -lGL.  Everyone tells me use 
eselect.  Well, I have, and although it gives me no errors, I still have 
no /usr/lib/libGL.so


[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/dcorbin]# eselect opengl set xorg-x11
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/dcorbin]# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL
libGL.la  libGLU.so.1   libGLw.so 
libGLw.so.1.0.0
libGLU.la libGLU.so.1.3 libGLw.so.1
libGLU.so libGLU.so.1.3.060502  libGLw.so.1.0

Suggestions for how to fix this please.

Just a guess: ensure '/usr/lib/libGL' is in /etc/ld.so.conf and then 
run 'ldconfig'...

I suggest this because I use nVidia GL, and I 
have '/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib' listed in my ld.so.conf. Though, I don't 
recall having to add it manually.

HTH

/usr/lib/libGL.so is a symlink to /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so 
on my machine, and that comes from media-libs/mesa. eselect updates 
that symlink.

Do you have mesa correctly installed and does that target actually 
exist?

I think either env-update or eselect opengl set nvidia does that.

Apparently not.  media-libs/mesa wass emerged, but I did not have the libGL.so 
you mentioned.  Re-emerging mesa and then re-eselecting seems to have fixed 
things.

Thanks

Cool. I take it your video is now OK and you don't need the ati or 
nvidia implementations?
