What's ldconfig?:)

??? You are way above me :) What I have is a executable: ldglite
When I try to execute it it complains about a missing file:
libMesaGLU.so.3

I also have Mesa-3.2 which installs without problems...
I also have glut-3.6 which during installation (as far as I can tell)
complains about some missing files, theese are libMesaGLU.so and
libMesaGL.so
I guess the two problems are different sides of the same coin, but what do
I do to solve it? As I stated before.... "Me know nothing .... Me learn it
from a book"

Well I have the source for Mesa 3.2 and Glut 3.6, but what's LGPL?

btw... The ldglite is version 0.5b I got it in a file called
ldglite0_5b_l.zip and theres only one file in it..
