Hi Duncan, and others..

Yes, below are the search results. it is linked to mesa/libGL.so and is
again point to libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.2.0 . However, I could not find
libGL.so.1.2.0 or its source. Where is libGL.so.1.2.0 expected to be
located?


/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so


Thanks again,
Santosh
