Thanks for your help with this.

I re-installed libtool, but that didn't do it.

Then I decided to go all-out and bootstrap a new /usr/pkg (see
below), but the problem persists.

I did some more research relative to the main error message:

libtool: install: `/pkgsrc/graphics/MesaLib/work/Mesa-6.2.1/src/mesa/libGL.la' is not a valid

I found out that this error is misleading. It should say libGL.la
is missing, not invalid. The reason being, my build is only
creating the .a file for libGL and not the corresponding .la file
(or .so file).

In addition, this problem happens on my system to all three of
MesaLib's libraries. Specifically, pkgsrc builds these:

glw/libGLw.a
mesa/libGL.a
mesa/libOSMesa.a

But it should also be building their corresponding .la and .so files.

Following is my latest troubleshooting tactic:

Overnight last night, I kicked off a re-build of Mesa/MesaLib on
a freshly bootstrapped /usr/pkg. In specific: I moved /usr/pkg
and /var/db out of the way, ran "cvs update -dP", ran bootstrap,
installed /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf, and did a "make install" in
graphics/Mesa. This of course built everything anew (even the
gcc compilers) before trying to build/install MesaLib.

Here's a filtered view of the output of this latest attempt,
showing the extract, install, and return lines, and the error
message where it dies.
