Re: Version of Mesa3D on Ubuntu 13.10

I fixed the Mesa 10.0.4 build problem, by first running
$ cd Mesa-10.0.4
$ NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
This seems to create a new configure file. And then when
I run this new configure, it no longer requires aclocal-1.14.
And the build seems to succeed.

This is a little surprising because the installation manual at
http://www.mesa3d.org/autoconf.html
says only to do "autogen.sh" when the configure file is absent.
In my case, I do have a configure file from the package
MesaLib-10.0.4.tar.bz2

Anyway, I seem to have a mesa library now. Thanks all
for trying to help!
