Hi I've just installed libglew for some graphics software. However I'm unsure if it's linking against lGL in the the correct fglrx libgl or the mesa one in i386-Linux folder glee has been put into. Is there away to find out?

On a second question I'm trying to install ogre however because glew is installed its reporting no lgl file ogre hides everything behind cmake can anyone tell me is there away I can tell it to look in the fglrx file or use glew ?
Thanks all

ldd <executable>
you can usually use a -L option if you read the configure script help.

Hack the Makefile? Put a symlink tyo the one you want in /usr/lib?

Thanks used ldd.

Found a way to use cmake to change directory path in advanced options. Havking make would have been a mightmare as there were dozens of them :s
