OpenGL Dev Packages

[TheChuckster]

Get the development packages for OpenGL for your distro. For Debian, this is xlibmesa-dev. Other distros should have similar packages.

This quote is from the guide at Linux Half-Life, which tells you how to get Half-Life working under Linux. What is the "similar package" for Mandrake and where can I download it? :confused:

Either Mesa-devel or X11R6-devel. X11R6-devel is what I would use if you can.

They're both on your installation CDs. Probably on either CD 2 or CD 3. Open up Software Manager (I think that's still what it's called, anyway), and find and select the packages there. Hit install, then it will prompt for any CDs it needs (all dependencies are installed for you at the same time).

If you are using the nVidia drivers, you may have to reinstall the NVIDIA_GLX package afterward. This shouldn't break anything else.
