Google Earth & LibGL Question
« on: April 18, 2011, 12:04:07 PM »
I use an NVidia Graphics card.
 Geforce 6100 and later .......  current driver  260.19.44


Code: [Select]
[user@Dell ~]$ google-earth
Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA libGL.so
and libnvidia-glcore.so. shared libraries (libGL.so version:
260.19.36; libnvidia-glcore.so. version: 260.19.44).

So I checked /usr/lib
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/libGL.so.260.19.36
no sign of the 260.19.44

I found it here
/usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.260.19.44


For the present I have changed the  /usr/libGL.so1  link to point to this location as that is the one which had pointed to the older liGL file, and this gets rid of the error.


What would be the recommended solution to this?

regards.

You need to move libGL.so* files from /usr/lib folder

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

For some reason a few programs do not honor the ldconfig for libGL. Warzone, Googleearth and Chromium game seems to ignore it.
