Hi Guys
I"m using mandrake 10 CE, 2.6.3-13mdk kernel, Nividia Ge-force 2 mx 400
card, 20Ghd, scsi cd writer, DVD-drive.
I"ve down loaded the source for boson. ./configure, make, and make
install. On the make install it fails, this is the error I get :
...
I've linked ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.la /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la at this point
would I need to re-run ./configure, make, make install? Any advice
appreciated

I just recently built boson 0.10 under 10.0 Official. Runs like a dog because
I don't have a video driver with h/w acceleration support, but that's a
separate issue.
I ran into several version issues with autoconf and the related gnu build
system programs. Mandrake installs by default ancient versions of these (2.13
of autoconf; 2.59 is the latest stable), apparently for backward
compatibility with older programs. They seem to have forgotten about forward
compatibility :^). If you install the latest, it actually installs a script
that tries to choose the correct version, so I don't know why the don't do
this in the first place. You also have to upgrade automake and aclocal.
I don't remember exactly the errors I got. There was something explicit about
having to upgrade autoconf, I think, but after that, and before I realized I
had to separately upgrade automake and aclocal, I got a lot of weird
messages.
If you haven't upgraded all these, do it and see if it helps. Mine built
successfully after all upgrades.
Also, the various build steps weren't entirely clear to me from the web page.
As I worked it out, I put them all into a script (I think for example that
all the "make install"s have to be done after all the "make"s have been
done). I've attached it here. Feel free to use this as you see fit.
Hope this helps.
