Now you remind me of the other variation I thought of... at least I needed the Mesa-package to be able to update, ahem it seemed so. Yes the variation without Mesa.rpm also works fine and I still don't like ladies with shotguns. [~]$ rpm -qa|grep Mesa Mesa-demos-3.5-2mdk libMesaGLU1-3.5-2mdk libMesaglut3-3.5-2mdk libMesaGLU1-devel-3.5-2mdk libMesaglut3-devel-3.5-2mdk The glut-libraries seem to be unimportant for quake3 but what the hell. Anyway this seems to bee a much more consistant way of packaging the Mesa-stuff. Cya, Han.
