Cannot find -lGL

[valan]

Not sure what the problem is here, it says it can't find -lGL when it is clearly accessable in /usr/lib

Code: Select all

I have ran ldconfig, and it still can't find it.

Hi,

have you tried running configure wit --with-gl-libs=/usr/lib ?

[Ampersand]

I've also had this problem, I tried --with-gl-libs=/usr/lib, /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib and /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib, all had the same result.

x86_64 arch, gcc 3.4.6, gentoo, svn from earlier today, nvidia version 1.8756

I had the same problem on a 32-bit system. What worked for me was for the compile to switch to mesa/xorg-x11 opengl. When the compile is done you can switch back to Nvidia's opengl.

I think that worked, thanks. Now I'm getting as far as the expat errors...
