libGL.so since you are compiling. Since libGL.so is a symlink to libGL.so.1 in this case, it will end up having a runtime requirement of libGL.so.1, the libGL.so is simply there so that the linker can find it based on -lGL and of course the opengl.h header matters too, since it should match the library. That is why the nvidia-glx init.d script checks if mesa-dev is installed, in which case it makes libGL.so a link to the xlibmesa version of libGL.so.1 and otherwise if nvidia-glx-dev is installed instead then it makes libGL.so a link to the nvidia version of libGL.so.1, and if neither is installed, you get no libGL.so at all, since without headers you are in no state to compile stuff anyhow. > Ok, but it's only a problem of the extensions, not a "normal" and compatible > code, no? Sure. You have to explictly ask to use the extensions in your code for it to be a problem. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
