[Mesa-users] mesa ./install error

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Teagan,

I think you forgot to attach `build.log`, which might contain useful information.  It looks like the SDK is loaded correctly and you're running `./install` from the MESA directory, so the question now is why it doesn't think there's a `const` directory.

What are the directory contents of `$MESA_DIR`? (e.g. run `ls $MESA_DIR`) Is the `const` directory there?  If not, I suggest trying to extract the MESA archive again (i.e. start again from scratch) and watch out for errors when extracting the archive.

Cheers,
Warrick
