Partly is due to a bug that's been fixed in current CVS and a replacement rpm is available on ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribut...ontrib/texstar/ in the Mandrake 8.2 directory. But in other cases, nspluginviewer and other programs don't work anyway, and if you launch them from console you get Unable to load required library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2! Segmentation fault The fact is that the NVIDIA rpm renamed the library (present in the Mesa package) to avoid conflicts. But how do you make nspluginviewer and the other programs work? 1. In /usr/lib there's a file called libGL.so.1.0.xxx, where xxx is the NVIDIA driver version. It is the NVIDIA equivalent of the libGL.so.1.2 file. 2. as root, cd to /usr/X11R6/lib 3. symlink the file mentioned in step 1 to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 : ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.xxx libGL.so.1.2 4. Voila'! Now nspluginviewer and the other GL-requiring programs will work! I hope this helps other that were in the same situation as me!
