[SOLVED] Can't install catalyst due to libgl conflict

Hello everyone,

I'm having issues installing the catalyst driver. I downloaded the catalyst-utils, and catalyst packaged from the AUR. I started with catalyst-utils, after building the package I tried to install it. Pacman informed me that this would conflict with libgl and asked if I would like to remove it. When I select yes, it then tells me that I'm missing a required libgl component, So I use pacman to install the component, and then try to install catalyst-utils. I'm told this conflicts with the libgl (which it apparently needs) and it then removes it.

I obviously don't know what's going on here, so here's what terminal says.

[connor@AWESOME catalyst-utils]$ sudo pacman -U catalyst-utils-11.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Please help!

sudo pacman -Rd libgl and then install catalyst.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't install catalyst due to libgl conflict

You don't need ati-dri with catalyst. You may want to remove that first.

The important line is this:

:: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.10.0.git20110215

The problem is: ati-dri is compiled with the mesa/libgl version in the repositories and won't work with the libgl that is included in catalyst.
pacman -Qi ati-dri should tell you that ati-dri wants exactly the libgl version from repositories.
("Depends On     : libgl=7.10.0.git20110215")

Re: [SOLVED] Can't install catalyst due to libgl conflict

Hey guys, thanks so much for the help! I got the driver installed and working, now just have to see what kind of performance I can get here. I might have to hold off on arch until I can get an Nvidia card.

Thanks again!

I'm having th same problem.
How did you remove LibGl?
I can't remove it using Pacman -Rd Libgl.
Here's the output:
pacman -Rd libgl
