"eselect opengl set xorg-x11" should take care of it.

[gentoo-user] libGL.so

[Randy Barlow]

Howdy all,

	I ran an update deep and such, and things worked nicely.  And after
that I ran a revdep-rebuild, and things didn't go so smoothly.  I'm
running into this error:

/usr/lib/libGL.so: No such file or directory

	Now, I do have libGL.so.1, as well as 1.0.7174 (which I think is an
artifact of an nvidia driver I was trying to get to work with no luck).

	Actually, those parentheses deserve a bit of splainin'.  I've got an
old nVidia TNT2 card here, and the proprietary nVidia drivers don't seem
to play nice with the newer kernel just yet.  So I switched back to the
regular nv driver for the meantime.  This is why the 1.0.7174 soname is
there I think...

	Anyways, anybody know what I need to emerge to get the libGL.so that
revdep-rebuild wants to see to be there?  Thanks!

Hey Richard, thanks for the reply, but I've already run that command:

rpbarlow@booty ~ $ sudo eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   xorg-x11 *

Any other ideas?

That really should work:

carcharias rjf # ll /usr/lib/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jul 21 22:13 /usr/lib/libGL.so ->
/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so
carcharias rjf # rm /usr/lib/libGL.so
carcharias rjf # eselect opengl set xorg-x11
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done
carcharias rjf # ll /usr/lib/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jul 21 22:13 /usr/lib/libGL.so ->
/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so

What does "ls -l /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL*" show?

I suppose you can try to recreate the link manually.  It should link
to /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.

emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers

It's probably a good idea to remove any artifacts of your previous Nvidia
install attempts first. I've found that the uninstall option in the
Nvidia installer doesn't get rid of everything.

0 and 1. Now what could be so hard about that?

Well I'm a bit shy about running the ~arch packages on this system, but
thanks for the suggestion!

Now this is interesting.  I hadn't thought of trying that, but I did,
and now I have a libGL.so again, and revdep-rebuild says that dynamic
linking in consistent now.  It even points to the right place :)  Thanks!
