error loading 'libglut.so.3'

[serbet]

I am at the start, sorry. I installed Mesa5.0 and tried to execute a demo.

"error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

But it is an existing library at /usr/lib?

[errno]

Hello!
my /usr/lib/libglut* look like
libglut.so.3.7
libglut.so.3
libglut.so

libglut.so.3.7 is a symbolic link to libglut.so.3
and
libglut.so.3 is a symbolic link to libglut.so

[jmg]

libglut.so.3.7 is a symbolic link to libglut.so.3
and
libglut.so.3 is a symbolic link to libglut.so



I think you mean those the other way around.

serbet, what does
ls -l /usr/lib/lib/libglut.so.3
show?

If it's a symlink, does what it points to exist?

What distro are you using? It should come with all the OpenGL libs you need. Why did you install Mesa?
