[Mesa3d-users] mesa make using dri undefined reference to `drmOpenOnce'

[Ekhlas S. <ekh...@re...>]

Hi, 

   I am trying to install Mesa 7.7 on a RHEL 5.4 64-bit machine. I was able to successfully compile and install the package using



make linux-x86-64.



But the graphics quality was not satisfactory for the flight simulator I want to run (FlightGear 1.9.1).



So, I thought of compiling Mesa with direct rendering. Hence I tried compiling it (after make realclean) using



make linux-dri-x86-64



and I got the following error after the compilation runs for quite some time:



../../lib64/libGL.so: undefined reference to `drmOpenOnce'

../../lib64/libGL.so: undefined reference to `XDamageAdd'

../../lib64/libGL.so: undefined reference to `drmCloseOnce'



My web search tells me I need to upgrade libdrm packages. But I have installed the latest packages of libdrm(libdrm 2.4.17).

Same with XDamage (version 1.1.2).



Can someone please help me? Why am I getting this error?



Thanks.

Ekhlas.
