[Mesa3d-users] Help: libdrm problem

[Lee A. <ope...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm going to compile the Mesa 7.2 for installing a bioinformatics
software called VMD. I notice that Mesa needs libdrm so I download the
libdrm package from dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm. I use the version of
2.4.3.

Libdrm complied and installed well, then when I do configuration Mesa
shows following error messages.

checking for LIBDRM... Package libdrm was not found in the pkg-config
search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdrm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdrm' found
configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm >= 2.3.1) were not met:



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBDRM_CFLAGS
and LIBDRM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

However, I suppose that I have installed such package, so I don't know
how to go on. Could anyone how to fix that problem? My OS is Cent OS
4.7 with kernel version of 2.6.9-78.EL.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Amy Lee
