Hi, For the last week or so, I've been pestering Fredrik with questions on how to make ldglite run on my Linux box, since I've been having problems installing Mesa and glut. I've also been trawling lugnet for any hints, and it looks like newer (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) libMesaGL is obsolete, you should link programs to libGL instead because some PCs now have OpenGL drivers for the 3D cards and the only way for a program to find them is if you link to libGL. Symlinks should work too, that's not the best (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
