hey everyone

I am trying to get 3D working on my laptop (Presario 2500, gentoo,
2.6.5, ATI IGP 340M, XFree 3.3.99.16). I got the version of X mentioned
above installed without a problem, and recompiled my kernel as the howto
I am following told me to (I already had everything I needed, but I did
it anyway). Next, I was supposed to get dri and mesa from cvs. I don't
have cvs installed, and got errors when trying to emerge it. So, I
downloaded the tarballs instead. I am following the guide at
http://h00045ad2a5c0.ne.client2.attbi.com/jaydolan/igp.html if you want
to take a look at it. I made the necessary changed to the file it said
to, and then did "make World". After a few minutes, I get the following
error:

+ rm -f fsmasks.h
+ ln -s ../../../../include/fonts/fsmasks.h .
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/dl/dri/xc/xc/include/fonts'
including in include/GL...
make[3]: Entering directory `/root/dl/dri/xc/xc/include/GL'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target
`/root/d1/mesa/Mesa/include/GL/gl.h', needed by `gl.h'. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/dl/dri/xc/xc/include/GL'
make[2]: *** [includes] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/dl/dri/xc/xc/include'
make[1]: *** [includes] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/dl/dri/xc/xc'
make: *** [World] Error 2

I tried doing "make install" just to see if it would work, and it just
gave a bunch of errors, the first one being about the same, with the
gl.h file. I have no idea what the problem could be, and I am hoping
that someone might be able to help me out. Please reply if you have any
suggestions.

Thanks
