[Plib-users] plib cannot find GL

[Harald K. <Ha...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am just trying to compile plib-1.6.0. Unfortunately the configure scrip=
t=20
stops, asking for the GL library.

It should be present, since I installed the latest Mesa version 5.0.1, an=
d=20
manually set the pathname to libGL in plib's configure file!

Has anyone an idea, what I am doing wrong??

Regards,

Harald

Hello..

Did you compile mesa yourself and if so did you put a path or prefix in. If
not chances are the files are located in /usr/local/lib and
/usr/local/include. They should not be there. They should actually be in
/usr/lib and /usr/include.. Check for that.. if not send the config.log
file..

Hi,

I am just trying to compile plib-1.6.0. Unfortunately the configure script
stops, asking for the GL library.

It should be present, since I installed the latest Mesa version 5.0.1, and
manually set the pathname to libGL in plib's configure file!

Has anyone an idea, what I am doing wrong??

configure works by writing tiny C programs and compiling them to see if they
work.

You can find out what went wrong with the little C fragment it used to probe
for OpenGL by reading the contents of 'config.log'.  Hopefully the errors
that came out of the compiler will enable you to debug your problem.

Hi Harald,

I had exactly the same problem when i tried to compile plib-1.6.0. It worked 
after i installed the freeglut library (i found it following the the link on 
the plib homepage). so if you need mesa, this wont help you much, im sorry... 

as im not a professional in these concerns, i dont know if freeglut and mesa 
conflict.

 

best regards,

ludwig
