My system is Linux Red Hat 9, on an NForce-based motherboard (MSI). The graphics card on these boards is embedded, using the GeForce2 chipset.
I'm using the latest RH kernel update, and the latest official NVidia driver, compiled on this same system. The graphics system seems to be working fine, i didn't have any problems.
I downloaded Celestia from here http://shrike.freshrpms.net/ and tried to rebuild the src.rpm on my system. Well, it failed. Here is the error:

Code: Select all

[root@rivendell root]# rpmbuild --rebuild --target=athlon celestia-1.3.0-fr1.src.rpm

However, i do have glut installed:

The config.log file reveals this:

The guy who created the src.rpm (Matthias Saou) says it compiles fine on his system. He's using the same Red Hat 9, has a GeForce card, but he's not using the official NVidia drivers. His allegation (and my suspicion too) is that the NVidia driver somehow replaced a few things on my system, hence the compilation fails.

Can anyone shed some more light?
Anyone else with RH9 and the official NVidia drivers here? Does Celestia compile fine on your system?
What could be the cause for the failure? What can i do to fix that?

If you need more information, let me know.

Thank you,

Maybe you have the wrong gl.h and/or glu.h headers. Please post the size and first lines of these headers to check against mine. Sometimes the nVidia drivers replaces them.

I have the Mesa libraries:

# rpm -qa | grep glut

libMesaglut3-4.0.3-6mdk
libMesaglut3-devel-4.0.3-6mdk

On my system, gl.h and glu.h are owned by the XFree86-devel package.
Anyway, here are the sizes:

15916 Feb 27 08:21 glu.h

I'm suspicious at your gl.h... seems an newer version of the Mesa libraries (4.0.4). Also I forgot to include glx.h in my query, as the errors seem to be related to it (sorry just got up from bed).

My glu.h is owned by the Mesa GLU devel package (libMesaGLU1-devel-4.0.3-6mdk, Mandrake distribution) .

Why does your system load the dynamic library from gcc-lib if it's owned by Xfree86? Not necessarily bad, just a thought ... :roll:

I dunno, my RPM database claims it comes with XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2

No problem. Snippet is below. The size of the file is 7915.

I have no idea.

What else should i try?

Your glx.h seems ok...

My suggestions:

-Try to see if you have all the Mesa development packages installed (GLU, for example). If not, install them.
-Make sure you don't have another copy of the libglut.so library (perhaps as libglut.so.xxx). If you have another library, and specially if it is in the /usr/X11R6/lib directory, give preference to it by the ./configure --with-glut-libs=<directory> option.
-As a last resort, install Mesa sources and compile&install -in a local directory!! don't overwrite the system ones -. After that, give the path of your compiled libraries and includes with the options:

--with-gl-libs=<directory>
--with-gl-inc=<directory>
--with-glut-libs=<directory>
--with-glut-inc=<directory>

Try my suggestions in the order given, and try to configure for each one.
