[gentoo-user] eselect fouled

[David Corbin]

I have an ebuild saying that it cannot find -lGL.  Everyone tells me "use 
eselect".  Well, I have, and although it gives me no errors, I still have 
no /usr/lib/libGL.so


[root@bass /home/dcorbin]# eselect opengl set xorg-x11
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done
[root@bass /home/dcorbin]# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL
libGL.la              libGLU.so.1           libGLw.so             
libGLw.so.1.0.0
libGLU.la             libGLU.so.1.3         libGLw.so.1
libGLU.so             libGLU.so.1.3.060502  libGLw.so.1.0

Suggestions for how to fix this please.

/usr/lib/libGL.so is a symlink to /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so 
on my machine, and that comes from media-libs/mesa. eselect updates 
that symlink.

Do you have mesa correctly installed and does that target actually 
exist?

Apparently not.  media-libs/mesa wass emerged, but I did not have the libGL.so 
you mentioned.  Re-emerging mesa and then re-eselecting seems to have fixed 
things.

Cool. I take it your video is now OK and you don't need the ati or 
nvidia implementations?

Just a guess: ensure '/usr/lib/libGL' is in /etc/ld.so.conf and then 
run 'ldconfig'...

I suggest this because I use nVidia GL, and I 
have '/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib' listed in my ld.so.conf. Though, I don't 
recall having to add it manually.

I think either "env-update" or "eselect opengl set nvidia" does that.
