This (failed) upgrade to mesa-progs was one of -many- programs upgraded for an upgrade of /xorg-server-1.5.3-r5. I presently have mesa-progs 6.5.2 installed, so I bypassed this upgrade, only to have the xorg-server compilation fail (I'm guessing/hoping that they're related). >>> Unpacking MesaDemos-7.3.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3/work >>> Unpacking MesaLib-7.3.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3/work >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3/work/Mesa-7.3 ... make -j9 glxinfo x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -I../../include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -std=c99 -ffast-math -O2 -march=native -msse4 -pipe -m64 -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPTHREADS -DUSE_EXTERNAL_DXTN_LIB=1 -DIN_DRI_DRIVER -DGLX_DIRECT_RENDERING -DGLX_INDIRECT_RENDERING -DHAVE_ALIAS -DHAVE_POSIX_MEMALIGN -DUSE_X86_64_ASM -fno-strict-aliasing -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--warn-once,--hash-style=gnu glxinfo.c -L../../lib64 -lGL -lm -o glxinfo glxinfo.c: In function 'print_extension_list': glxinfo.c:119: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments glxinfo.c:129: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [glxinfo] Error 1 * * ERROR: x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 1078: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake glxinfo || die "glxinfo failed";

I had this same problem after unmerging nvidia-drivers (because the legacy drivers do not yet support xorg-server-1.5). I fixed it by doing # rm /usr/lib/libGL.so # eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] xorg-x11 # eselect opengl set 1 Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done [redo emerge] If this also fixes it for you, I suppose the bug should be: "Gentoo does not switch back to the correct OpenGL implementation after nvidia-drivers are unmerged"

I think you have it figured out - except it may be a little more convoluted. I followed your steps and got the same compilation error (and IIRC, the manual advises us to use eselect to set the link, which I did) ...... However: 1. The /usr/lib64/libGL.so and /usr/lib32/libGL.so links were sitting out there pointing to nowhere. 2. Rerunning the eselect opengl set 1 statement resulted in: "Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface...ln: creating symbolic link `./libGL.so': File exists !!! Error: Failed to create /usr/lib32/libGL.so Killed" 3. So I cd'd to each of the /usr/libs and manually set the links: ln -s /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so libGL.so ln -s /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so libGL.so 4. mesa-progs compiled fine. So your description of the problem is correct; but there may also be an eselect issue, and in my case it may be a "multilib" issue as well. Thanks again!
Might be related to bug #228547 (or even a dupe). bug #238686 reports the same for x11-drivers/ati-drivers package.
Don't know where to put this; I'll start here: After getting mesa-progs successfully compiled, I completed the upgrade to xorg-server-1.5.3-r5. Startx failed after being unable to locate libGL.so. The links to libGL.so located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions were also pointing off to nowhere (to the /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/... location). I replaced those links manually as well, and everything worked*. * well..... worked after I recompiled the nv (wrong version) and mouse drivers (not found). I'm guessing that they got borked because I bypassed the original mesa-progs update. JEEZE!
In theory, this bug is now properly fixed. In any case, mesa-progs wasn't the package to be broken. If you still have libGL build issues, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug. Thanks
