GLX/OpenGL dev installation for RH Linux 7.2

Hello,

I’m having trouble getting the OpenGL development stuff loaded for
Red Hat Linux 7.2. Specifically, I need the OpenGL, GLU, GLX, and
Motif development libraries.

I’m at the point where I’m stuck trying to get GLX to install. Motif is
already installed (except for the GLX widget stuff). Here’s the
components that I downloaded from www.rpmfind.net:

XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm
XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm
XFree86-OpenGL-devel-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm

They have the following conflict:
Mesa >= 3:3.4.2-7 is needed by XFree86-4.1.0-3

I then tried to install XFree86-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm. But, it has the
following conflict with XFS.:

file /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir conflicts between attempted installs of
XFree86-4.1.0-7 and XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-6
file /usr/X11R6/man/man1/mkfontdir.1x.gz conflicts between attempted installs of
XFree86-4.1.0-7 and XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-6

Here are Mesa installed components:
Mesa-devel-3.4.2-7
Mesa-3.4.2-7

Here are the XFree86 installed components:
XFree86-libs-4.1.0-3
XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-3
XFree86-xdm-4.1.0-3
XFree86-devel-4.1.0-3
XFree86-4.1.0-3
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-3
XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-3
XFree86-tools-4.1.0-3
XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-3
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-3
XFree86-twm-4.1.0-3

The actual rpm command …

[root@localhost Download]# rpm -Uvh xauth-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-fonts-ISO8859-1-4.1.0-4.i686.rpm ncurses-5.2-16.i686.rpm XFree86-devel-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-tools-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-OpenGL-devel-4.1.0-7.i686.rpm XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-6.i386.rpm

You should already have OpenGL installed. Maybe could that explain the error messages. If you are using a nvidia card is the drivers on their web site. The other drivers is installed with XFree86.
