That's very odd, as MesaGL should as a minimum be provided by your X11 implementation. Does /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so exist? It should be a symbolic link to a libGL somewhere. You should be able to restore the link with opengl-update, if it's missing.
you're right, libMesaGL.so was symlink to a non-existent file. sorry for filing a bogus bug report...
Well, I'm not sure I would call it a bogus report unless you personally linked libMesaGL.so to the non-existant file. Perhaps some ebuild didn't remember to update the link?
well, I had the ati-drivers installed, the unmerged it, and it seems it has left a stale link there...
You see, now that's just rude of the ebuild :-) OK, so you should probably know to run opengl-update after doing these things, but couldn't some sort of automation be built into the scripts? Or at least a warning in pkg_postrm() ...
