[gentoo-user] Package gl?

2009-12-27 Thread Willie Wong
Hi, brand new system I am trying to install. 

emerge gets to xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1 and dies with the message that
the config script cannot find package gl. And it is true, if I issue 

pkg-config --libs gl

I get, instead of the expected -IGL

Package gl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gl' found

Any hints to what package I may be missing, and/or what directory it
should be in?

Cheers, 

W

Oops, I just remembered that I can just look on my other gentoo server
to find where gl is and this brings up a new problem!

gl.pc is located in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc
equery belongs tells me that it belongs to mesa. 

BUT, xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1 has mesa as a PDEPEND, and mesa-7.7 has
xorg-server as a RDEPEND, which is included in DEPEND, so how the heck
am I supposed to get X working on my laptop?

since no information is being transmitted.
