[mesa-users] Installation error and solution on Mac OS X 10.8

[Richard Townsend]

Hi Aaron --

Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is generally a bad idea, and can break other parts of OS X (ask Bill about this; he's experienced the problems directly).

Can I ask what errors the linker was producing?

cheers,

Rich
