Mesa version

What would be a good mesa version? 5.0.1 says it's too old...

--snip
checking whether glx.h defines glXGetProcAddressARB... no
configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date. You can get a more recent
copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net).
snip--

and it's the latest stable...

could start compiling slackware again =)

actually you have to replace glXGetProcAddressARB
with glXGetProcAddress
they changed the name of the bloody function for no apparent reason GRRRRRRR
not sure how to detect for this--but I prolly need some detection in the configure script

Cool... that does happen sometimes... I think they should include some kind of a legacy support for those... but... everyone goes their own way...

I don't know if this will fix it for you, but here is a short description of the replacing:

I'm getting this when I do a ./configure, will I have to edit whatever configure uses to check, and then wait for a crash during compile to see what file refers to glx.h? Then edit that file, and try to compile again? Where does configure look to see what it needs?

Thanks for your help, I edited the config fileand successfully compiled tux racer. I wouldnt have been able to do it without ya!

A cleaner way to fix this seems to be to define the preprocessor variable GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY. There is some code in glx.h that checks if this variable is defined, in which case it uses the old function name.
