libGL.la / libtool-1.5 compatibility problems

Brian Ellis · 12-29-03, 07:38 PM

I am constructing a Linux-From-Scratch system based on LFS-5.0. I've gotten XF86-4.3.0.1 installed with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328 working. The problem is in building arts-1.1.4 as a pre-req for kde. I get the folowing error:

Code:

libtool: link: `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/../../../libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive

Is this a problem with the GL library / driver installer, libtool / libtool configuration, or arts / arts configuration ? What can be done to get libGL.la working or to get arts to properly compile / link against the dynamic libraries ?

Code:

Software System Specs :
kernel  -  2.4.19, 2.4.23, and 2.6.0
libc -  glibc-2.3.2
binutils  -  2.14
gcc  -  3.3.1 and 2.95.3 for kernel and modules
libtool  -  1.5
XFree86  -  4.3.0.1
and just about the latest stable versions of everything else...

Hardware Specs :
CPU  -  AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz
MB  -  Biostar M7-VIB (VIA KT-133 chipset) ... I think...
GFX  -  MSI nVidia GeForce FX-5600
MEM  -  512MB PC133

This is a problem with the libGL.la generated by the nvidia-installer. Please edit /usr/lib/libGL.la, and replace the line:

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5

with

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool)

libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files.

This will be fixed in the next driver release. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi all.

I am running mandrake 10ce. I have the latest nvidia which is 6629(I think).

The problem with the libtool and libGL.la continues with this version of nvidia.

Does the solution provided...

Please edit /usr/lib/libGL.la, and replace the line:

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5

with

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool)

libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files.

work with this version of nvidia?

Thanks for any help in advance.

The version of libGL.la installed as part of the 1.0-6629 driver doesn't require this workaround.
