[Mesa-users] Problem with MESA installation

Thu Sep 9 14:10:38 UTC 2021

Okay please stop and do not delete things as mesa logs data during
installation (in the build.log file) that would be very helpful at this
point to diagnose what is going on.

Please carefully read the instructions here
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/prereqs.html on how to install MESA.

Please stop using whatever that graphical tool you are trying to use, that
is giving you the message about the mesa installation being incomplete.
That is not a tool released by the MESA team and we don't support it.

Instead try installing MESA by just using a terminal and the command line.

Please read the instructions here
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/troubleshooting.html on how to send a useful
request for help (that is telling us what mesa version, sdk version and OS
you are using as you did not previously mention you are on a Mac). If you
are on a newer Mac you can not use the older versions of the sdk, so try
the newest SDK.
