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.
