RE: [Mesa3d-users] mesa devel

[Robert N. <rn...@ca...>]

Hi Brian,

Although it was not I who installed (or even downloaded) the original
package on the machine, there is a link (that i found via Google)
http://www.userfriendly.net/linux/RPM/userfriendly/gnome/Mesa-devel-3.1beta1
-3.i386.html
that shows the same list of files in my previous submission.  Please note
who the vendor is.... maybe its a different one? ;)

I managed to find another set of packages however "xfree-opengl-*.rpm" that
seem to have the files i'm looking for but, 
the "includes" are placed in a different directory and it come with its own
libGL, GLU.  (vendor: PLD)

Perhaps i'm mistaken, but i always thought Mesa was the equivalent of OpenGL
on Linux. If that is so, why is there an OpenGL set
of RPMs and a Mesa set?... What is the distinction between them?

Thanx again,
Robert
