Bug 97693 – nvidia-glx-1.0.7664: typedef redefinitions of 'GLXFBConfigSGIX' and 'GLXPbufferSGIX' in /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h and glxext.h

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

[Description Brian D 2005-07-02 00:27:14 UTC]

I tried to compile the latest CVS of Crystal Space (http://crystalspace3d.org),
and the configure failed to find the GLX. The relevant config.log output is
attached; key lines are:

In file included from /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:337,
                 from conftest.c:24:
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h:267: error: redefinition of typedef 'GLXFBConfigSGIX'
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:157: error: previous declaration of
'GLXFBConfigSGIX' was here
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h:271: error: redefinition of typedef 'GLXPbufferSGIX'
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:144: error: previous declaration of 'GLXPbufferSGIX'
was here

I tried re-emerging nvidia-glx without having any effect on the problem.  

I removed the gl.h, glext.h, glx.h, and glxext.h symlinks form
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/ and running opengl-update nvidia again without effect.  

I saw that the symlinks for glext.h and glxext.h link to /usr/lib/opengl/global,
rather than /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia, so I removed the symlinks and linked them to
the nvidia versions.  No effect.  (Aside: Shouldn't those link to nvidia
anyways?  Why are they linked to global?)

I fixed the problem by emerging nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 and
nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4.  Crystal Space now configures correctly.  This leads me
to believe that this is a problem with GLX 7664.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to configure Crystal Space CVS (see attachment for demo program)
Actual Results:  
The configure failed to set up GLX correctly.  The demo program used in the
configure failed to compile with the error:

In file included from /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:337,
                 from conftest.c:24:
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h:267: error: redefinition of typedef 'GLXFBConfigSGIX'
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:157: error: previous declaration of
'GLXFBConfigSGIX' was here
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h:271: error: redefinition of typedef 'GLXPbufferSGIX'
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h:144: error: previous declaration of 'GLXPbufferSGIX'
was here

See attached config.log portion for more information.

Expected Results:  
configure should have found GLX and set it up.  The demo program for the
configure script should have compiled correctly.
