XLib Extension Error

I am making a OpenGL game for Linux and I am having some trouble with my linkers. My Makefile includes the following CFLAGS: -I/usr/X11R6/include LDFLAGS: -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXi -lXmu For some unknown reason the source files will compile into the executable. However, when I go to run the prgrm it does nothing. Running it through a terminal, I get the following message: ''XLib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"'' Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. I am me. I think. Or do I. What is thinking?

do ANY OpenGL applications work for you?

runn ldd on one that does, and compare the libraries being linked to it to the libraries being linked to yours
Try running glxgears. If that doesn''t work, you probably don''t have OpenGL or GLX set up properly, and you''ll need to install them.
Try this.
If that doesn''t work it would probably help to know what distro/video card/driver version you''re running.
I went to delete\modify the /usr/X11R6/lib/tls folder but didn''t find it on my system at all. I am running on a Intel 830i Graphics Card (Equivalent of Stone Age) but all my OpenGL screensavers still run. It is odd because I had everything working properly in the middle of my current project. I was able to build a OpenGL window, draw on it, and do other things my card allows, but when I went to build it the last time it wouldn''t run. I debugged it and got the error above. ldconfig runs properly and correctly links everything but when I run glxinfo I get the extension error.

Again, thank you in advance.
