OK, I only (manually) did the first. I still have no clue how to work out what packages you need to do what stuff. I’m sure it’s magnificently documented somewhere, like all software (what, me sarcastic?).

Did you get an actual /usr/lib/libGL.so file ? It’s hard to imagine that something apparently crucial doesn’t get installed/created.


According to `apt list --installed ` I have these libgl related items as well - 

i   libgl1-mesa-dri                      - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI m
i   libgl1-mesa-glx                      - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX r
i   libgles1-mesa                        - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 1.x API -
i   libgles2-mesa                        - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 2.x API -

I suppose I’ll have to assemble a vanilla Raspbian and check that to see what it includes by default.

Same, I think. At least that’s what my ancient notes (old enough to be in Enochian) say. I think. They’ve grown grumpy over the years.
