Description Melendro 2007-02-01 16:21:58 UTC 
prelink fails when trying to prelink every application linked to libGL.so:

/usr/sbin/prelink: /usr/bin/glxinfo: Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library //usr//lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1

Nevertheless, libGL.so.1.2 has been successfully prelinked:

Prelinking /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2
(No errors)

Don't use prelink; seriously. It's been completely unmaintained for ages, has tons of bugs and is noone seems interested in digging into this.

Unmaintained in Gentoo or upstream?

if /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 contains TEXTRELs, then there's no actual bug in prelink
