Thus, to ensure compatibility with nvidia users, only build OpenGL applications in environments where libgl or nvidia-utils is installed.

Can't we do the magic binary sed trick to get it replaced with libGL.so.1\0\0 in fglrx-utils libGL.so?

I guess we could, but are we allowed to? Anyway, in a clean build chroot with libgl installed, this is not a problem.

I think the problem was that my chroot dropped in fglrx-utils because pacman chooses to install the first packages that matches with libgl, which is unfortunately fglrx-utils :( greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
