There's some stuff already done in my current packages to get that working in an easy way. It does not work yet because it needs some collaboration from other maintainers. I was stupid enough to upload new packages in late december, hoping to get a chance to stabilize the packages and then assess if this could be done for sarge or not. Since the new packages are stuck in incoming and without a word from ftp-master as usual I'm scratching getting this done for sarge. Go pester them if you wish, but I won't rush this for sarge given the current situation. What I can offer you is get something working for sid in the short term future (couple of months maybe, depending on RL). If sarge takes an eternity to get out the door, the next version of Mesa will be out and it will include new drivers, which will in turn get the packages stuck in incoming again. If sarge takes two eternities to get out of the door, I'll reconsider pestering people to get this done. The lack of a clear release schedule of course hinders any sort of planning ahead. For the moment you can do what I do: $ dpkg -x mesa-whatever.deb /some/nice/location/ $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/nice/location/usr/lib my_gl_program If your program is properly written, you don't need to recompile and you don't need any specific version of the OpenGL headers installed on the system in order to compile it. If your program isn't properly written and you don't have the time to rewrite it properly please take a look at GLEW (also available in Debian).
