Gl.h

When trying to emerge programs such as Tuxracer, or xscreensaver, the ebuild files as it can't find "GL/gl.h".

What am I missing?

I got my voodoo3 working by going to the dri sourceforge page and following instructions there.

gl.h (and other OpenGL header files) are required to build programs that make use of OpenGL. Just because your video card works doesn't necessarily mean that you have OpenGL -development- support installed.

If you're using DRI, you'll want the MesaGL libraries and header files. Emerge packages "mesa" and "mesa-glu". In my Portage tree it's masked, but that may be because I'm using the NVIDIA OpenGL libraries.

Ok....

tried emerging mesa 3.4

Got this as an error:

trinity mesa #

So I did this....

trinity lib # ls libglide3.*
libglide3.a libglide3.la libglide3.so libglide3.so.3 libglide3.so.3.10.0
trinity lib # file libglide3.la
libglide3.la: ASCII English text

Anyone?

Files with extension .la usually denote Libtool instructions -- a set of parameters that tell libtool how to link a library.

Can you paste the -full- command that caused the emerge to die? From what I see there, it's not clear exactly what's going on. The most I can make out is that libGL is being built.

You may want to check that the version of libtool you're using is the same version that generated the libtool library files. For example:
