fedora nvidia glext prob solved

Post by Guest »

Hi I just succeeded compiling VS and ran it to glext.h problem described in faq with a twist.
when I did like the faq said
# find /usr -name glext.h
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/include/GL/glext.h
/usr/include/GL/glext.h

ok I have simular problem so I checked the date and size both were the same.
only when I opened /usr/include/GL/glext.h in my text editor did I noticed the difference
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/include/GL/glext.h is from nvidia (I use nvidia's driver)
/usr/include/GL/glext.h is from SUN Microsystems packager of fedora nvidia rpm (which I don't use but is not compatible withthe driver I d/l from nvidia
I started using nvidia's long ago because of such problems but when I upgraded to fedora2 it look like I somehow got Sun's driver in /usr/include/GL/
I did the following
as root
mv /usr/include/GL/glext.h /usr/include/GL/glextold.h
cp /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/include/GL/glext.h usr/include/GL/glext.h
hope this is helpfull
btw this would be good to add to FAQ
Phil
