Jasper Fails to Build (Empty libGL.la?)

[Kenji Miyamoto]

I'm currently trying to emerge Jasper, but am met with the following errors:

Code: Select all

Why is libGL.la invalid?

[Kenji Miyamoto]

Even restarting the system rebuild process again and from scratch doesn't get it to work. Will I never get a fully running system again?

If I move libGL.la, it gets an error saying that it cannot fint libSM.la

EDIT: Apparently, my libGL.la has a filesize of 0. What's going on?

I had the same problem, but emerging jabber with USE="-opengl" worked fine. I dont have time/knowledge for a fix, so if you can live without the USE flag, give it a try.

I am getting a very similar error when emerging xscreensaver

Your suggestion to -opengl might hurt my progress!

I just recently built this machine and as a side note:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/lib64/libGL.la    
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 24 14:48 /usr/lib64/libGL.la

Any help would be great!

(wishful bump)

I am going to attempt to emerge without opengl keyword on jasper...

[hansolocg]

Not quite sure about the exact directory (somewhere in the xorg-libs, just search for libGL.la), but you can just copy the libGL.la from XOrg. Works fine for me. You probably got the ATI-drivers which only install an empty file.

Thanks,

I ended up emerging "-opengl" on jasper and then compiling xscreensaver just fine. So far I haven't had an problems with the gl screensavers.

Thanks again

Might not matter now, but libGL.la is apart of MESA. Try re-emerging mesa?

Code: Select all

emerge mesa[/b]

I'm not in front of my comp right now, but I'm having a similar problem, in that the resolution of adding USE="-opengl" fixed the problem, but I think that the error message is different. I'm on an AMD64 system, though, using an nvidia card (although I haven't been able to get those running yet either :-/)

did not help here also added -opengl to packag.use for jasper

[alienjon]

Out of curiosity, is this an x86-64 problem or is anyone not using a 64 bit processor getting this as well (if so, should this post be moved to amd64?)

[korny]

even though...

Code: Select all

eselect opengl list

...showed my opengl as having selected the nvidia opengl drivers, out of hope, I tried...

Code: Select all

eselect opengl set nvidia

...and it worked. I was successfully able to build jasper with USE="opengl" afterwards.

For me at least, I had a lot of issues with the NVIDIA drivers and Xorg. So, I think I emerged xorg after nvidia. So, you should try a eselect opengl set nvidia and see if it helps.

Update: Well, I was well on my way until SDL failed to build because /usr/lib/libGL.so is missing. Could this be a bug with the eselect opengl interface? Seems like this link should change with the rest of them when you do an eselect opengl set ....

Code: Select all

(mduncan@sphere:mduncan) dir /usr/lib/libGL.so*  
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Aug  2 20:45 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.8762*

I was using an Intel Centrino Duo afaik it's 32 bit and has no EMT64 extensions.

Had the same problem. Try this:

Worked for me.

Hey thank's for that -opengl trick that helped it compile on my PC as well saved my bacon it did.

Out of all the distros on the net I think the Gentoo forums have the BEST people in the linux class for support Keep up the good work folks!! KUDOS!
