Silly question - did you edit your XF86Config-4 to call the drivers(from nv to nvidia) and can you run 3D accelerated software (TuxRacer or Chromium) ???
Also libgl.la is a text file not a driver. mine contains: (/usr/lib/libgl.la)
# libGL.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.6 (for use by libtool)
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.
# The name that we can dlopen(3).
dlname='libGL.so'
# Names of this library.
library_names='libGL.so.1.0.5336 libGL.so.1 libGL.so'
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lm -lXext -lX11 -ldl'
# Version information for libGL.
current=1
age=0
revision=5336
# Is this an already installed library?
installed=yes
# Files to dlopen/dlpreopen
dlopen=''
dlpreopen=''
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/lib'
What are you trying to install??? Other than this I am stumped!!!!!
I will check when I get home tonight(I am at work)
I did change my Config file from nv to nvidia and yes I checked with Tuxracer.
The programs I tried to install was Apollon and Kasablanca. Each time when I use the MAKE command, it gave me that libgl.la is missing and stops the installation.
Maybe NVIDIA's installer doesn't generate this file for some reason.
I tried to re-install the NVIDIA's driver, did an updatedb and locate libgl.la with no success.
It all started when I installed Apollon with the all-in-one installer and could'nt get all the plugins installed. I could only get Openft as server for files. I re-installed each of them separately, that's when I saw for the first time that libgl.la was missing in the terminal window. The all-in-one installer doesn't show any errors during the installation.
I think I will try to create the file with Kwrite since it is only a text file and see what happens.
Apollon worked for me under 9.2, but I did exactly the same as you and got the "all in one" - never got the bloody thing to work since, sometimes it shows 1 person on (presumably me!) very occasionally I see loads of people - but the search never works ho hum. I went to Xmule instead - but it is harder to download using it.
Just tried Apollon again - shows 4.4 thousand users, but my search is instantaneous and comes up with nothing - I wonder ............. firewall ...............
