Missing OpenGL information module has been disabled

I'm running Slackware 11. Installed it with NO KDE or Xserver in hopes to get beryl running.

When I go to ./configure KDEbase-3.5.6, I get the message stating

Missing
OpenGL information module has been disabled

GLX is running in Xserver, I do have libGL.so in my /usr/lib directory and most of all, I don't even know if this error is bad news (although, I tried to continue anyway, and the kdeartwork package told me it was going to skip installing screensavers because OpenGL is not installed


How do I either get KDE to accept Xserver's GLX as OpenGL or get an OpenGL module which KDE will accept?

Thank you much in advance

do you have the neccesary header files to compile kde with opengl?

what do you mean by 'no kde or x-server'
You need xorg in order to run kde and even for beryl..

Slackware's install lets me choose which packages, since upgrading xserver gave me many many errors in xserver and KDE, I re-installed slackware 11 with having every xserver and kde package disabled, then moved on to compiling xserver 7.2 (which contains XGL (which I THOUGHT was OpenGL) on my own.


Necessary header files? I haven't put any on it (unless it was part of something else (for xserver) Where might I get these necessary header files? should I install them somewhere specific /usr/include I'd assume, should I do something specific on ./configure for kdebase to get it to acknowledge these header files?.... I know nothing of the header files :( did I read over something somehwere? ok ok..enough questions



THANK YOU MUCH!!
