Re: [mesa-users] Failure with setting up Version 3607 of Mesa

[Max K. <ka...@rp...>]

I too have had some trouble installing 3607 on Ubuntu. I am using version
11.04 but gcc 4.6 is not officially supported until 11.10 is released next
month. Nevertheless, I installed the 4.6 binary available at
http://gfortran.org/download/x86_64/snapshots/ (it's a different URL for the
32 bit version) and it seems to work relatively fine after pointing the
system to the manually downloaded location. Even in 4.6, the
'no-cpp-precomp' warning still occurs but unlike 4.5 does *not *cause the
installation to fail. My installation failure seems to be some sort of
linking error between gcc and MPFR (I'm guessing because of my choice to
manually install it), so as far as I can tell downloading the 'unsupported'
version of gcc may be a good place to start.
