Problems with prelink and libGL in Fedora Core 1
 

Recently I tried to verify some packages using "rpm -V packagename" and I get a bunch of "prelink: /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/sproingies: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking" kind of errors and after a bit of investigation (checking the prelink logs) I traced the problem to this:

"/usr/sbin/prelink: /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix: Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1"

prelink.log is full os these kind of messages, all related to the same lib. I guess that this is not such a big deal but weird just the same.

I'm using Fedora Core 1 with all the latest updates and nvidia drivers v5336.

Find out more by searching this forum for "TLS".

I renamed the /usr/lib/tls directory to tls.old to force the use of the non TLS versions. This problem also happens with these versions. It's a libGL problem, in both the normal and TLS versions.

PS: I forced a full prelinking and ldconfig to test this.
