[mesa-users] Falure to install Mesa 2808

[Alessandro Patruno]

Hi Larry,

let me share with you my experience.
First of all, on which OS are you trying to install mesa ?
Consider that on linux Ubuntu the libX11.a file is in /usr/lib/ and not in
/usr/X11R6/lib as you
are using in your makefile.

To use pgplot you need also to change the path "
/Users/bpaxton/pgplot_gfortran_gcc/lib"
to the correct path where you have your pgplot software.
In my case I installed pgplot in  "/usr/local/pgplot/".
To find out where do you have pgplot (assuming you have already installed
it) you can type from a terminal "whereis pgplot".
Then copy the path to the makefile_header and recompile.

Cheers,

A.
