Yeah, I did build the .src.rpms. They have worked
with everything except for smpeg which Shogo appears
to need for the movies.
Well, I sort of think that ldconfig makes everything
else work while maybe smpeg is hard coded to expect
the drivers in a certain location. I don't know.
It's peculiar. I still have to talk to Loki.
I'll get back to you.
You and I appear to have the same setup with the
drivers. Have you compile smpeg for your system? If
so, did it see your GL?
