[mesa-users] New beta release of the MESA SDK for Linux machines -- please test!

[Richard Townsend]

OK, I'vd fixed the problem (by rebuilding the Linux SDK under Fedora 8, which has an old GLIBC).

New versions of the beta can be grabbed from here:

(for 64-bit machines)

(for 32-bit machines)

cheers,

Rich
