plib openGL SUCESS thanx + 1 more question


Hi, iv'e re-installed linux,

and finally got plib installed.

thanx to every1 who's replyed to my posts over the last 2 days

i have one question though.

i have installed plib (portable game library)
but not under the latest nvidia drivers.

(couldnt be bothered to upgrade, only to have to reinstall if i failed again and messed up the system)

anway, when i come to installing the latest nvidia drivers,

will all my stuff be okay ?

will i need to re-compile plib, and any opengl games installed ?

im hoping i will not have to, since tux racer was okay, but in linux, ive learned not to assume anything. lol.

thanX

lol....

one or more of the following....
missing header files
dodgey glut-delev
dodgy x-devel

i uninstaled all my glut glut-devel and x-devel and updated them from the internet, then searched the hard disk for gl header files and moved them around a bit .

and the compile took AGES, couldnt bare watching it just incase an error poped up, had to go make a coffee lol.

i hate it when u fix a problem to find 3 more.
