I am trying to run an application, which uses the libGL.so library on a PC with Debian Sarge (stable) Linux (with the latest security updates). However it aborts with the error message: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
According to http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2004-10/0232.html (which I found by googling), the problem is that I have to use nVidia-provided libGL.so.1.2 rather than the library provided by xlibmesa-gl (Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1). My graphics card was identified by the X-Server as: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] rev 161, Mem @ 0xe7000000/24, 0xf0000000/27, BIOS @ 0xeffe0000/17 My problem is that I did not figure out how to actually do what was suggested above - Where do I find nVidia-compatible libGL.so.1.2? Another option is to modify the application's source code and/or build process (the application is GPLed and I have its source code). It uses the following GL-related header files: #include <GLUT/glut.h> #include <OpenGL/gl.h> #include <OpenGL/glu.h> #include <GL/glut.h> #include <GL/gl.h> #include <GL/glu.h> and in the build process, the linker uses the following libraries: -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lX11 -lXi -lXext -lXmu -lm Any suggestions what can be substituted to solve the problem?
