Bug 152415 – Cannot compile media-libs/freeglut-2.4.0

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description maad eminencja 2006-10-22 12:53:39 UTC]

The following error was reported by emerge.

I fixed it by:
  cd /usr/lib64
  ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so

Run eselect-opengl set xorg-x11 (or nvidia or ati or whatever you are using); not a freeglut bug.
