[gentoo-catalyst] Problems with opengl and catalyst

[Frittella Laurento]

I'm trying to build a livecd with a working xorg installation (dri,
opengl, ...), but if I try to startx from the livecd I obtain this error:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so dlopen:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so: undefined symbol:
__glXActiveScreens
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so

and if I start revdep-rebuild (I have added it to the fsscript) it finds
some broken ebuilds:

[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/freeglut-2.4.0
[ebuild   R   ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9746
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/pkgconfig-0.20  USE="-hardened"
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/gtkglarea-1.99.0

but the freeglut compilation fails with:

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libglut.la] Error 1

Do you have any suggestions?

Regards,
Laurento

This could be a *major* problem if you try to distribute this CD.  Doing
so is illegal as it is a violation of the GPL.  Even distributing this
DC to your family is really against the law, if going by the absolute
letter of the law, since you cannot prove the source for all of the
components of the nVidia driver (and it is released under an
incompatible license with the GPL, to boot)...

It sounds like you need to run opengl-update prior to starting your
revdep-rebuild.

Ok Chris, I think I'll remove this package from my livecd

I'll try this too, meanwhile I noticed that if I add to my ffscript
something like "emerge -1 xorg-server" this doesn't simply replace the
package but installs about 7 new dependencies!
It's strange, isn't it?

That definitely sounds like a broken build.  I'd re-run your
livecd-stage1 (with -a, but not -p) before restarting livecd-stage2.

I encountered the same question while building my livecd, and solved using the MESA for 3d.
If you don't need to run heavy 3d application, the software opengl is working pretty fine;
