It's because the symbol is missing from /usr/include/GL/gl.h If you're using nvidia drivers, gl.h redirects to the one installed by the drivers... which didn't have that symbol until the 190 series of drivers. Updating the nvidia drivers before xorg-server fixed the issue for me. Yes Thanks! That has fixed the issue. One more comment. At the moment moment of reporting I had nvidia-drivers version "190.36" and the issue was solved when upgrading to "190.42-r3" What about for those of us (me specifically) who are using older versions of the drivers? For example, I have a GEForce 3 and therefore use version 96.43.13. I'm guessing that the only option is to emerge --unmerge nvidia-drivers, emerge xorg-server, and then emerge nvidia-drivers...

After compiling, switch back to nvidia. All: didn't the xorg-server ebuild used to temporarily switch to the xorg OpenGL for the compile and then switch back afterwards? Or was that a different package? I am having this same problem. I can confirm that xorg-server 1.7.1 does not set opengl to the xorg-x11 version before compiling. When I manually switch opengl to xorg-x11, compiling xorg-server-1.7.1 works. Before, when I had it set to nvidia's opengl, compiling broke as specified. And just to clarify, I think it DID used to switch opengl to xorg-x11 before it started compiling. |
