Mesa3d didnt install properly

kwigibo · 05-06-2003, 09:59 PM

Hi everyone,

I have an older version of the Mesa3d libraries. I downloaded the latest stable source version and ran configure, make, make install. It seemed to of worked. But when I run my programs they are still using the old version of the Mesa3d library. My programs dynamically link in the GL libraries. How do I set it to use the new version?

If "ldconfig -p" shows both Mesa versions, and if you need to keep your old libs (like for linking older apps against them), move them in a directory outside /usr/lib, else delete the old ones. Rerun ldconfig to update the shared library database and recheck with "ldconfig -p".

The new install probably installed to /usr/local rather than plain 'ole /usr. Thus the older ones may still be there. Try installing to /usr by specifying a prefix on the configure command like so:
./configure --prefix="usr"
do a make uninstall first if you kept the source tree intact, just so you don't have two copies of the same thing.

ran this
ldconfig -p | grep -i "libgl"

got this

Code:

        libglut.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglut.so.3
        libglut.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so.3
        libglut.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglut.so
        libglide3.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglide3.so.3
        libglib-2.0.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
        libglib-1.2.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
        libglade.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglade.so.0
        libglade-2.0.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0
        libglade-gnome.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglade-gnome.so.0
        libGLU.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1
        libGLU.so (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so
        libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
        libGL.so (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so

here's an output of the directory where they should be and are?

Code:

what do I do?
