GNOME3 and nvidia-driver
Hi, The latest GNOME3 update doesn't appear to live well with nvidia-driver. I'm attempting to build gnome3, but it's failing during the configure of graphics/cogl (required by graphics/cogl, required by graphics/clutter, required by accessibility/caribou): ... checking for GLIB - version = 2.32.0... yes (version 2.42.0) checking EGL/egl.h usability... no checking EGL/egl.h presence... no checking for EGL/egl.h... no configure: error: Unable to locate required EGL headers === Script configure failed unexpectedly. ... Hmm. Okay, a quick search reveals graphics/libEGL has the headers. # cd /usr/ports/graphics/libEGL make install clean ... === Checking if libEGL already installed === Registering installation for libEGL-10.3.3 pkg-static: libEGL-10.3.3 conflicts with nvidia-driver-340.46 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/libEGL.so *** Error code 70 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/libEGL What should I do?

Cheers -- Jonathan Chen j...@chen.org.nz Switch to Mate? ;-) I'll be doing this shortly, so it's not entirely facetious. After some time with Gnome3 on Linux, I switched to Mate and have been very happy with it. (Mate is a fork of Gnome2.) Cinnamon is another option. It is GTK3 based, but retains the customisability of Gnome2. I have only very limited experience with it. -- R.

Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/libEGL.so *** Error code 70 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/libEGL What should I do? For me, the following works as a workaround: 1. Switch back to a console (without using X11) 2. pkg delete -f nvidia-driver-340.46 3. portmaster -a portmaster x11/gnome3 4. pkg delete -f libEGL-10.3.3 5. cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver make install [ kldload nvidia] After that, you should be able to start X11 again and work as usual. It seems to be no problem without having libEGL installed, because there is a libEGL version from nvidia-driver installed. Of course, it would be better, if someone could solve the conflict of the two ports ;) HTH, Rainer Hurling Cheers -- Jonathan Chen j...@chen.org.nz ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I've decided to try out Mate after seeing the _huge_ pile of ports that Gnome3 brings in. The best thing is that Mate works out of the box, and I've got it running now.
