Hi VMD-L,

I'm trying to use the DRI version of vmd but with no luck.
When I start the vmd the xterm dies before anything comes up. If I
execute vmd_LINUX directly I get the following error message:

BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dl-version.c: 210: _dl_check_map_versions:
Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!

I get the same error if I do "ldd vmd_LINUX". This happens in Mandrake
7.1 and 7.0 and in RedHat 6.2. In Mandrake 5.3 ldd works. I get:

        libGL.so.1 => not found
        libGLU.so.1 => not found
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40005000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400aa000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400ad000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400c6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

But unfortunately I don't have a graphic card or xfree4 on this system.

I'm using xfree 4.0, Mandrake 7.1 and the latest nvidia driver 0.9.3 (I
also tried 0.9.2). The graphics card is geforce 256 DDR and it seems to
be working fine as far as quake3 goes.

Thanks for help,
