Description Andy Crook 2004-11-11 10:33:45 UTC
After moving glext.h a got error trying to emerge noegnud-nethack - it couldn't find this header file because it was moved!
Maybe we shoul symlink instead of moving?
And do it automatically instead of asking user to do it by hand?
like that:

ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glext.h /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/include/glext.h

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

You need to run : opengl-update <implem> (if you dont have nvidia or ati opengl-update xfree) and in regards to the file being moved, yes it must be moved, and it must be done manually.

That's the way it is.
