[Gambas-user] NVidia workaround

[Brian Snipes]

I use Gentoo 1.4rc2 and have been doing 'opengl-update xfree' before
running Gambas and then 'opengl-update nvidia' after exiting to put the
NVidia opengl components back.  Today I experimented with just changing
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH before going into Gambas so that it pointed to the
xfree opengl libraries.  Lo and behold it worked...
So, in order to run Gambas on Gentoo, run:

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib
 gambas

Putting this in an alias or a shell script to save typing is next.  BTW
the contents of my /usr/lib/xfree/lib directory is as follows:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       665898 Feb 28 19:47 libGL.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          777 Feb 28 19:47 libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 Feb 28 19:47 libGL.so ->
libGL.so.1.2
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 Feb 28 19:47 libGL.so.1 ->
libGL.so.1.2
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       577216 Feb 28 19:47 libGL.so.1.2
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 Feb 28 19:47 libMesaGL.so ->
libGL.so.1.2
