I found a problem when I recompiled the
graphics/kdegraphics3 port; the build and install were
OK, but now when I run KPovModeler, it tells me, "No
OpenGL support" and does not show wireframes anymore.

I'm running FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE-p4, and recompiling
because I'm just doing an ordinary portupgrade on
kdegraphics3.

There was no problem during the configure step. Configure
found GL, GLU, GLX, but found them....

checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking GL/glu.h usability... yes
checking GL/glu.h presence... yes
checking for GL/glu.h... yes
checking GL/glx.h usability... yes
checking GL/glx.h presence... yes
checking for GL/glx.h... yes
checking for GL... yes

The only thing configure said I was missing was libsane,
which I don't even need because I don't have a scanner.

I'd really like to be able to use KPovModeler properly.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Should I just give up
and use a package? Do I need to install Mesa? It is not
listed as a dependency, and in fact when I tried to make
the graphics/mesagl port it says this:

landru# cd /usr/ports/graphics/mesagl/
landru# make configure
===> Mesa-5.0.1_3 is unnecessary because libGL and libGLU
come with XFree86 4.0 and higher.

I have libglut-6.0.1 and xorg 6.8.2 already installed,
along with the all the rest of KDE 3.4.1.

Thanks,

Uncomment Load "glx" and Load "dri" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, >and restart X.
That may help you.

# This loads the GLX module
   Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
   Load "dri"

Thanks Jonathan, that solved it! I didn't have either module loaded.

For the record, just plain Load "glx" alone was enough
to solve the problem.  I had removed both of these Load
commands when I upgraded from XFree86 to Xorg, and
I thought maybe I didn't need them anymore, since the
example xorg.conf file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg does not indicate loading
these modules.  Then, I forgot that I'd removed them...

Thanks again!
