On a Fedora 33 Linux system, I find that library in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so On an Oracle Solaris 11 systems, I find it in two locations: /usr/lib/mesa/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so On a Sun Solaris 10 system, I find several copies /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/amd64/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/mesa/amd64/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/mesa/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/amd64/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/amd64/libglx.so.1 /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/libglx.so /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/libglx.so.1 /var/run/opengl/server/amd64/libglx.so /var/run/opengl/server/libglx.so Thus, I suspect that the double slash that you reported is innocuous, and valid, because in the V6 Unix kernel documented in John Lyons' book, the path traveral has something like while (*s == '/') s++; instead of if (*s == '/') s++; I found that snippet several years ago when we were writing Classic Shell Scripting, and we wanted to know if adjacent slashes in a pathname are legal: the V6 code shows that the answer is yes. Of course, the Solaris 10 system also shows intervening mesa and NVIDIA components, so it certainly is worth checking whether a simple symlink will allow the library to be found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
