Greetings,

I just went through this myself last week, also unable to find the original post. I think what I needed to do was removethe first "-Wl," so the line begins with -shared.

LIBS="-Wl,-shared -Wl,-export-dynamic $LIBS" Became LIBS="-shared -Wl,-export-dynamic $LIBS"

I am not on that machine now, but I am almost certain that was the fix. I've only ever had that problem on Fedora 1.

Hi all, So I am rebuilding GEM (from 0.90.0) but I am having the same problem I had before - Mesa and GL come standard with Fedora Core (I checked with rpm -q to be safe) by GEM's configure isint finding them. If I remember correctly it was something to do with the values in the variable $LIBS - like -Wl, -shared -Wl,-export-dynamic should be -shared -export-dynamic or something. A guy at redhat told me that it was the correct way to create shared libs, but I forget the syntax and I have lost the email over the years.

Can anyone tell me how to convert the line below LIBS="-Wl,-shared -Wl,-export-dynamic $LIBS" into a LIBS line that will allow configure to compile its test script and find Mesa and GL? In the mean time I will me a monkey with a typewriter and bang away randomly.

Thank you! -thewade
