    Problem with liGL.la

    Hi,
    I'm running on mandrake 10 rc1, with the lastest NVIDIA's driver installed (i owe a geforce 4 ti 4200) and the lastest Xfree86 version. When I try to compile applications that need libGL.la , iI've got an error, saying that this file is not valid. I tried to install mesa but it made Xfree unable to launch. What can I do in order to have a valid libGL file?

    Thanks in advance

    libGL.la is provided by mesa, so the only thing i can suggest is retry the installation of the mesa package. Ensure your are installing the latest version of mesa as well, and also consider upgrading Xfree86 if your not running the latest version.

    No I haven't seen anything, X just quit when it had to load glx. I think that the NVIDIA's driver have specials libGL files, I was told that mesa can't be installed with NVIDIAs drivers. Is there any way to compile programs witch need those files with this driver installed?
