[Dri-users] Re: Updated install.sh for 2.6 kernels

[Felix <fx...@gm...>]

Hmm,

The ls output below doesn't match the ls commands so I did some educated
guessing to understand what you were trying to tell me with them. :-/

The problem is that some systems don't use /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* but
a different one, like /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/libGL.so*. The script tries to
detect that and replace the libGL.so* in the non-standard location with
symlinks to the standard location. But first it makes backups of the
original files. There were some problems with that part of the script.
The attached version fixes that.

Could you give it a try please.

Regards,
  Felix

P.S.: BTW, nothing personal, but I hate your mail program. ;-) It
inserts empty lines in normal text all over the place and wraps all
quotes to one line on replies. Mails that are hard to read are pretty
annoying, especially for mailing list subscribers reading large volumes
of mail.
