  libMesaGL is obsolete, you should link programs to libGL instead

don't forget to run ldconfig after.
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"

  If that still doesn't work, give me a better description of your
problem and I'll be able to help you.
Does the above suffice?

Also it looks like there's some version og glut coming with Mesa, does
this mean that I don't need to install glut afterwards?

  Glut is not going to be updated anymore, and it's not LGPL either. The
latest version of Mesa (3.2) comes with a makefile for GLUT so I think
you only need to unpack the source there and it should compile (haven't
tested it myself).
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..


Ahh, the so called "stable" executable from way back when.  I thought I
statically linked that one to the Mesa libs, but I guess not since it seems
to be looking for libMesaGLU.so.  Do you feel comfortable grabbing the
source distribution and compiling?  I could walk you through that.  It's
not too hard.

Go to ldglite.sourceforge.net and get ldglitesrc0_6pre8.zip.  Then send me
an email at dheyse@hotmail.com.

Sorry about the messy state of ldglite lately.  I had to move it to the
sourceforge site, and then some "Real World" stuff like wisdom tooth surgery
kept busy for a while.

Don: The problem with the missing library can be handled by grabbing these two RPM packages somewhere: Mesa-3.1-1.i386.rpm Mesa-glut-3.1-1.i386.rpm (and installing them) (...) I have tried to compile LDGLite myself without much success, so I would (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
