[Slackbuilds-users] Nvidia 367.44 possible libEGL issue and workaround

[King Beowulf]

There may be an issue for some programs/applications with the libEGL
installation and symlinks for nvidia-driver-367.44.  Unfortunately, This
month is bit hectic and I may not get to an update for a few weeks.  If
you experience egl errors or warnings:

These are the installed libs from the slackbuild

ls -l /usr/lib64/libEGL*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    1336 May  9  2016 /usr/lib64/libEGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Aug 31 15:53 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so ->
libEGL.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 Aug 31 15:55 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1 ->
libEGL.so.1.0.0-xorg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   17528 Aug 31 15:49 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  176920 May  9  2016 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1.0.0-xorg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      23 Aug 31 15:53
/usr/lib64/libEGL_nvidia.so.0 -> libEGL_nvidia.so.367.44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1003176 Aug 31 15:49
/usr/lib64/libEGL_nvidia.so.367.44

This is what it should look like:

ls -l /usr/lib64/libEGL*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    1336 May  9  2016 /usr/lib64/libEGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 Dec 11 10:29 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so ->
libEGL.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   17528 Aug 31 15:49 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 Dec 11 10:33 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1.0.0
-> libEGL.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  176920 May  9  2016 /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1.0.0-xorg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      23 Aug 31 15:53
/usr/lib64/libEGL_nvidia.so.0 -> libEGL_nvidia.so.367.44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1003176 Aug 31 15:49
/usr/lib64/libEGL_nvidia.so.367.44

If yours are mangled then the WORKAROUND:

rm libEGL.so.1
mv libEGl.so.1.0.0 libEGL.so.1
ln -s libEGl.so.1 libEGL.so.1.0.0
ln -s libEGl.so.1 libEGL.so

Let me know if this clears up the issue.
