Hello,
   On an Indigo running 4.0.5 the /usr/lib/libgl_s.a file is missing.  There 
is a /usr/lib/libgl_s, but this is not an archive file.
  Why is there not libgl_s.a?  Why is there a /usr/lib/libgl_s?  Any help 
would be appreciated.

libgl_s.a is in the gl_x_dev product.  'versions' will tell you if
you have gl_x_dev installed.

libgl_s is needed to run GL applications that were linked against the
shared gl library, hence it is in the runtime eoe images.  libgl_s.a 
is part of the gl developers image since it is needed to link a GL program.

Sounds like an installation problem.  The typical cause is that you
have not yet loaded the "maintenance" CD.  Since libgl_s.a is machine
configuration specific and the original Iris Developer's Option (where
libgl_s.a lives) was released before 4.0.5, it is found in the maintenance
products.
