[SOLVED] bzflag not working after upgrade to Mageia6

[alopez]

After I upgraded to mageia 6, bzflag stopped working. and error messages suggested a problem of version of libraries. I'm posting this in case someone else falls in this problem.

The solution came from this thread.

The problem is that there is a collision between the lib64mesagl1 (libmesagl1 in i686) and the x11-driver-video-nvidia340 package.

So, to make the solution available quickly I made the following changes as root for x86_64 systems:

Code: Select all

# ln -fs /usr/lib64/nvidia340/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0
# ln -fs /usr/lib64/nvidia340/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1.2.0


and/or these if the i686 package is installed.

Code: Select all

# ln -fs /usr/lib/nvidia340/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0
# ln -fs /usr/lib/nvidia340/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0


Warning: I guess if any of the lib64mesagl1 or libmesagl1 packages is re-installed or updated, these modifications will have to be repeated.

No there's not, one is for software and one for hw-accelerated OpenGL. Probably your OpenGL setup was broken before, what you have now is just a temporary workaround, not a solution.

No, it was not. It was working perfectly with no manipulation needed before the upgrade.

That's exactly what my post says. Please read the last sentence maked "Warning."
