Re: [Foxgui-users]Build problems on RH 7.3

[Charles W. <cw...@cf...>]

Theron,

	Your problems may be related to the OpenGL (Mesa) libraries. I had 
the same problem when I upgraded to 7.3, and found that the linker 
was grabbing the wrong library.  nVidia supplies linux drivers for 
their boards, and they place the libraries in a different place.  
They are usually pretty good at renaming the other librares to avoid 
a conflict, but something was missed here.  There is a libGL.a in 
/usr/X11R6/lib that was being used instead of the libGL.so in /usr/lib 
that was supplied by nVidia.  I renamed the libGL.a so that it would 
not be picked up.  The stock OpenGL library that comes from Redhat 
may have some pthread usage, but I'm not linking to it personally...

Good Luck,
Charles
