I previously installed a bunch of GL packages (mesag-dev mesag-widgets-dev mesag3 mesag3-widgets) and then installed the stuff from nvidia's website to replace the glx libs, all before I knew these deb packages existed. So I installed nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel and ran the build scripts, but then to install them I had to remove a bunch of the other mesag3 packages (and even some x packages). The result is that I have these nvidia libs but no GL header files to compile with. The mesag-dev packages (gl.h etc) seem to conflict with the nvidia-glx. What have I missed? ...RickM...
