With the libGL patch disabled, you should be able to build the RPM with stock RHL 9 with no problems. It builds on RHL 8.0 also after upgrading a few things like freetype, fontconfig, expat and others, but without modification of the spec file. >You mentioned having to possibly upgrade to some packages from Rawhide >in order to get this to work. Are you referring to GCC and/or glibc? Only to compile the new package with the libGL patch enabled and TLS enabled. If I recall correctly, Jakub said it should work with rawhide gcc/glibc, and probably should work with Red Hat Linux 9 with all updates applied, but that it should not work on a stock Red Hat Linux 9 system. If your system is completely stock Red Hat Linux 9, try updating it to current Red Hat Linux 9 updates, and reinstalling 4.3.0-17 with the libGL patch installed. I have a feeling that if there isn't a bug in the patch causing this, it is most likely caused due to a missing dependancy that we're not aware of yet, but if this is the case, it would be nice to track down what the minimum versions of everything truely needed is, so I don't have to put dependancies into the packages that require everything to be cutting edge rawhide stuff. I'd like to avoid having dependancies on cutting edge toolchain et al. as it makes things difficult to build on stock RHL 8.0 and 9, and also on our Red Hat Enterprise Linux developmental builds. I'd prefer to keep X building everywhere without specfile mods if possible. I might be able to twiddle Imake to do this as we determine what the proper compiler/glibc deps are. Thanks. -- Mike A.
