Description Ben Beuchler 2002-01-23 13:56:06 UTC

Actually, it's GLE that fails to build.  mesa-glu installs correctly, but GLE 
claims that it can't find libglut.

Fixed.  emerge media-libs/glut first, then try xscreensaver again.

Comment 2 Ben Beuchler 2002-01-24 16:58:47 UTC

I did an 'emerge media-libs/glut' and then 'emerge media-libs/gle' (since 
that's the library that was failing before) and it still fails, with the same 
error about being unable to find the required glut library.
This is on a vanilla r14 install.

Fix for this seems to be: edit your copy of the glut .ebuild, and change the 
$MESA_VER to be the same version as the Mesa you are using. Then remerge
glut.

Otherwise unmerge mesa, merge xfree-4.2.0-r5, and just merge glut.  Do not
merge Mesa again (check for emerge --world update).

It should work fine with xfree's libGLU on most cards.

Try using Mesa-3.42 and let me know the results.

Comment 5 Ben Beuchler 2002-01-29 15:49:25 UTC

It's working great now.  I apologize for not coming back and closing the 
ticket.

My current build is of XFree-4.2.0-r2 and mesa-glu-3.5.  Gle builds great.
