[gentoo-user] Re: [solved] xorg-x11 upgrade problems (mesa-progs-6.4.2)

[Walter Dnes]

Let's just say that Googling for a solution is hard when you don't
have X.  I could've unhooked my monitor from my main machine and
switched to my backup machine, but it's a hassle.  Anyhow, I did manage
to find the solution in Google using w3m instead of Firefox.  The Q and
A is...
=======================================================================
Question 4.4: I tried to emerge the drivers, but it didn't work. The
error message was "cannot find -lGL"
As root, do this:    opengl-update xfree / opengl-update xorg-x11

   emerge ati-drivers

   opengl-update ati
=======================================================================

  I emerged ati-drivers, and the rest of the build is now running, so at
least that item has been solved.  I did some warnings when building
ati-drivers.  Anybody know what the significance of the following is?
