Hi, It seems that the linker is looking for libGL.a

A symlink from libGL.a to libGL.so(or the file it points to) should
work.

Whoa there, Sparky...a .a file and a .so file are VERY different kinds of files and are not interchangeable! Depending on how the linker is called, this MIGHT make it link properly (as the linker will recognize the difference and link that library statically vs. dynamically) but this could cause very serious breakage elsewhere in the system. Bad idea!
