Just a quick note for those of you beginning to use Beta 2.0 of
Performer 2.3 for Linux:
Our FAQ (http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/linux-faq.html#5)
lists the dependencies of this release, among them Mesa 3.1 Beta #3.
It also provides some direct links to the Mesa binaries, as well as
links to the Mesa web site.
If you downloaded your Mesa binaries from the direct links in the FAQ
then all is well, you can quit reading here.
But if you followed the links to www.mesa3d.org, and from there on to
the download site listed for precompiled Mesa 3.1 Beta #3 rpm's:
ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/pub/Mesa/
Please go back and follow their further links to:
ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/pub/Mesa/rh6.0/
or
ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/pub/Mesa/rh6.1/
or just use our local mirror,
http://reality.sgi.com/performer/mesa/
The Mesa RPMs in falsehope.com's base '/pub/Mesa' directory are
intended for RedHat 5.2 with glibc 2.0, but aren't clearly labelled
as such. Performer requires glibc 2.1.x [shipped in RedHat6.0+] so
it won't work with them.
Again, if you followed the direct links in our FAQ then you're fine.
Those lead to our own mirror of the '/rh6.0' version. It's only if
you got creative that you might encounter this problem.
