No libGL.so found?

[siorai]

I decided to go old school and play some Quake2. I got it installed and starting up find, but I ran into a problem: no 3d acceleration. I see in the console when I try to enable OpenGL that it can't find libGL.so. I do some hunting around on here, find out how to check if the symbolic links are correct, but I don't even have libGL.so on my system at all. What would I need to install to correct this?

I'm running 5.10 with and Nvidia 6800.

you have to install the nvidia drivers
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

Do a search on this forum for more detailed info.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable


reboot

If it still can't find libGL.so you need to make a symblink.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so

That did it. :D Thanks.
