Mesa needs to be 6.5.1 due to header files not existing in 6.4.2<br> 2). Moving to 6.5.1 fails because another header dependency does not exist. Perusing the archives, one finds that the offending header file ./Mesa-6.5.1/src/mesa/shaderr/slang/library/slang_version_syn.h needs to be renamed or sym linked to slang_pp_version_syn.h<br> 3). Finally, when one makes it to the building of ./xserver/xorg-server-X11R7.1-1.1.0/GL/mesa/main, it fails with :<br><br> "In file included from accum.h:44<br> In files included from accum.c:26:<br> mtypes.h:44:20: bitset.h: No such file or directory"<br><br> Again, in persuing the archives, discussion is presented that glx is broken and one must append --disable-glx. In doing so, compilation does finally succeed. However, the question remains, is glx still broken? Or is it a temporary work around to compile completely? Does this in fact disable glx functinoality in the Xserver?<br><br> And in closing, what is the preferred method to installing the new Xserver, modules, libraries & apps? Is it necessary to keep the previous Xserver, or can one just overwrite the old version with the newly compiled files?<br><br> I apologize if this is obvious and I have been staring too hard in between the pixels for sanity, when really all I have accomplished is my own insanity. But quite honestly, the documentation leaves a lot to be desired, is rather convoluted and sometimes blatantly wrong. I do not profess to be an expert, but feel rather confident in my ability to build packages from source.<br><br> Would anyone consider offering some kind guidance on this issue?<br><br>Respectfully and with much appreciation in advance,<br><br>-ejb<br></div></div><br></body></html>
