Bug Description
I used KPackageKit to install xmame-x (and its dependency xmame-common) on my Kubuntu 9.10 amd64, but it doesn't work. Running `xmame` and `xmame.x11` both fail with
GLERROR: cannot access OpenGL library libGL.so.
I have a variety of libGL libraries, just not one named libGL.so.
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
Googling suggests this is a common problem. In ubuntuforums the old thread "xmame can't find libGL.so, but it's there" suggests "You need to link /usr/lib/libGL.so to /usr/lib/
Then I got "GLERROR: cannot access GLU library libGLU.so", so similarly I symlinked this to libGLU.
Then xmame worked! So as a n00b I wish some installer (mame or mesa or something else?) set up these needed libraries for me.
xmame-x version 0.106-3.1ubuntu2
xmame-common version 0.106-3.1ubuntu2
I already had libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, and libglu1-mesa installed.
