What do you mean with "the script fails"? There *is* already a /usr/lib/libGL.so symlink? If yes, no link needs to be created in the bin directory. |

Not exactly .
Before installing nvidia drivers, with X11 original drivers there is a symlink /usr/lib/libGL.so ->libGL.so.1.2
After installing nvidia drivers this is the new situation:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2004-09-02 13:54 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2004-09-02 13:13 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.6106
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 420976 2004-07-01 07:26 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6106
The problem is that libGL.so.1.2 disappears, so the libGL.so symlink is broken. The Croquet.sh scripts detects that it exists and doesn't do the good work. Just
doing ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 "$EXE/libGL.so" solves the problem, but it is not done by that script.
If you read the slashdot.com and barrapunto.com threads about croquet you will see that there are more debian & nvidia users complaining because Croquet doesn't work.

Thanks for the clarification. So we should create the symlink regardless of whether there is one in /usr/lib. It's actually the system that's broken, but what the heck, we can do this easily. |

I think you need a new version of the nvidia package. On my system (with the 6111 version) everything works fine.
Have you tried running (as root)
ldconfig -v |

Ned, do you know for sure the newer nvidia installer will remove the stale libGL.so link?
Anyway, the safest way to prevent these kinds of misconfiguration would be to create a link to the library that B3DAcceleratorPlugin.so is actually linked to. A bit of ldd magic should solve this:
ldd B3DAcceleratorPlugin.so | awk '/libGL.so.1/{print $3}'
OTOH, we *know* this is gonna be /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 on Linux, so why bother? |

In the changenote for nvidia-glx version 1.0.6106-3 it says:
Remove libglx.so.version symlink cleaning now that it is an actual file again.
What version are you using? |

I am using version 6106, but I have solved the problem. In my computer now it works perfectly doing by hand the symlink ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 "$EXE/libGL.so". The problem is for many people (in Spain, for example, http://barrapunto.com/article.pl?sid=04/10/12/217203&mode=thread [^] many people complain, and barrapunto is the spanish spoken slashdot.com) who are trying to use it. I know is a fail with nvidia drivers, but , if we can solve it so easily as doing that symlink anyway I think it should be done. |
