OK. That was my misunderstanding. I thought that nvidia driver uses its own libGL but needs other dri-* stuff. I have a look at some ports which use nvidia driver and understand that nvidia driver needs _only_ libGLU (better to say that those applications need only libGLU along with nvidia driver). That's why I changed my mind about linux libGLU port.

Someone with better (then mine) uderstanding of dri* and GL* may inverstigate current ports infrastructure and give a suggestion on a better structure. > your suggestion sounds good. if i understood you correctly you want to change > the ports like this: > - have a linux_dri port without libGL* > - create a linux_libGL port > - remove the linux-libGLU* ports At least for now (before FreeBSD-8.0 release) I'll leave it as is.
