From: piscesboy on 16 Jun 2010 19:41 I simply assumed that since GLX was installed on my Fedora 13 release, that OpenGL support was available for my version of X. But compilation of an xscreensaver I got revealed to me that is was not the case. I'm trying to install some OpenGl screensavers on my Gnome desktop, and running the ./configure file on them gave me the following errors: (the last 4 of a loooooong list:) checking for GL/glext.h... no checking for GL/glu.h... no checking for GL/glx.h... no configure: error: can't compile without OpenGL support I know I obviously need those above mentioned files which are part of a larger package, but what is it?

Compiling a program requires the appropriate devel packages, not just the library modules used to support a feature. On my Mandriva 2010.0 system ... $ urpmf GL/glx.h libmesagl1-devel:/usr/include/GL/glx.h nvidia96xx-devel:/usr/include/nvidia96xx/GL/glx.h nvidia-current-devel:/usr/include/nvidia-current/GL/glx.h nvidia173-devel:/usr/include/nvidia173/GL/glx.h fglrx-devel:/usr/include/ATI/GL/glx.h fglrx-devel:/usr/include/ATI/GL/glx.h My understanding is that Mandriva is an offshoot of Fedora, so I expect the package names are similar, if not the exact same. Looks like libmesagl1-devel is the package needed for those files, as it also contains the other two. Regards, Dave Hodgins -- Change nomail.afraid.org to ody.ca to reply by email.
