Hi!

I'm running a recently installed 9.1 and have installed _all_ the XFree and 
Mesa -devel RPM's available, and then used the nVidia installer to install 
the latest drivers.  

However, when I go to re-compile/link some OpenGL/GLU code I've written 
through KDevelop I get the error:

     libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la'

This is code that was successfully compiling/linking under 8.2.

Now, I've hunted everywhere for libGL.la and can't find it.  I know this would 
normally come from the XFree or Mesa -devel packages, but doesn't the nVidia 
drivers replace the .so with their own version, so shouldn't they provide the 
.la as well?  But that still doesn't explain where the XFree/Mesa one is 
either.

Anyone with any suggestions as to where this is?

Cheers!

John.


Try this:

$ urpmf /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la
libMesaGLU1-devel:/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la
$ urpmq --sources libMesaGLU1-devel
file://mnt/hd/Mandrake/RPMS3/libMesaGLU1-devel-5.0-3mdk.i586.rpm
It's on CD3.
