Hi there,
        My name is Omer S. Fancy. I would like to bring to your attention an error in 
the ./doc/INSTALL file which came with the Mesa-3.1 tarball which I obtained from your 
site.

On line 213 and 214 of the aforementioned file.  It states the usage of ln to create 
symbolic links so that compiling applications would be easier.

You have stated to type:

ln -s SYMLINKNAME TARGET

whereas the correct syntax is:

ln -s TARGET SYMLINKNAME

By using the method you have suggested the user will get a "error file already exists" 
error as it is trying to create a symlink named after a file already present in the 
appropriate lib directory.

Sincerely,
Omer S. Fancy
