First, get the Mesa 2.0 sources. Yes, I know there's no RPM, but you
can almost drop the 2.0 sources into the existing SRPM file without
changing it (o.k., there are a couple of changes in the SPEC, but they
are obvious and trivial...).
Second, the functionality of libieee is now built into libm, so you
don't really need to link -lieee separately anymore. There are two
basic solutions: 1) Go through the Mesa makefiles and find where the
requirement for libieee is coming from and delete it (making sure that
libm is linked); 2) Link /usr/lib/libieee.so --> /lib/libm.so.5 (e.g.,
ln -s /lib/libm.so.5 /usr/lib/libieee).
I used this second approach because I was thinking about uploading my
Mesa-2.0-1.src.rpm to ftp.redhat.com/Incoming a while ago, and I wanted
it to build correctly on Picasso machines (which have, and apparently
need, libieee.a). The only reason I didn't upload it is because I
didn't (and don't) have a machine running rpm-2.0.x and because I wanted
to find a solution that didn't require Picasso++ users to manually link
libieee --> libm. If y'all want what I got, give me a holler and I'll
find the time to put it up later today.
