I ran into some problems with windowless rendering (on
Linux/IA32 and Linux/Alpha). Apparently you have to upgrade
to Mesa 4.0 to get access to this feature.

Mesa 4.0 contains the library OSMesa, but it seems to need
some other library to work. I couldn't deduce what it is
from the compiler error message.

I have - as a temporary fix - changed the Linux installation
instructions, so off-screen rendering is disabled.

Please let me know, if you figure out how to get off-screen
rendering to work in Linux.

Hmm, I'm using 4.0, but it used to compile and link with the older
versions.  (I just forgot to set up the projection matrix for the
offscreen stuff so it didn't work yet in ldglite 0.9.2).  At some
point (4.0?) the Mesa folks pulled OSMesa out into its own library.

What version of Mesa is installed on ldraw.org?  I'll try and
login over the weekend and build it there.

Also, I've been unable to use the "linux installation instructions"
with Mandrake 7 and above.  I have to configure with --prefix=/usr or
something like that (according to the Mesa instructions for linux) to
get it to work.  Mandrake doesn't come set up to look in /usr/local,
and I don't exactly know how to make it look there.  Maybe something
to do with ldconfig.  And that's another thing.  I seem to have to
run ldconfig to get it to use the newly installed Mesa libraries, but
I really don't even know what ldconfig is for.  I'm gonna have to get
a newer linux book than my ancient slackware 2.0 volume...
