When starting X, the following appears in the log: (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a No symbols found in this module Failed to load debug_xform.o Upon further investigation, it appears that debug_xform.o is an empty object -- since debugging is not enabled in the build the object is completely empty. This causes the loader to choke (elfloader.c) Interestingly, on i386 and sparc for example, if I do: touch foo.c; gcc -c foo.c; nm foo.o I get an object with one symbol in it (gcc2_compiled) On Alpha and IA64 the same commands yield an object without any symbols. Not sure if this is relevant or not. Manually removing the debug_xform.o object from the archive allows the libGLcore.a module to be loaded correctly. It'll be interesting to see if GLX works on Alpha or not; from a cursory test it appears GLX is broken on Alpha as well. randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/ ----- End forwarded message -----
