I'm currently trying to manually install Mesa (version 10.2.3) on a server for which I do not have root access. After downloading the source, I run the configure file with .\configure --prefix=$HOME/.../PATH/TO/MESA. I get the following readout:

configure: error: Direct rendering requires libdrm >= 2.4.38

However, when I use locate libdrm, I get the following:

This seems to indicate to me that libdrm version 2.4.45 is already installed on the system, so why am I still getting an error? I tried running the configure file again with the default prefix and the same error occurs.

UPDATE: The problem is moot for me now as the server admin added OpenGL to the system. Feel free to write an answer, though, as it might help someone having similar issues.

Installing the libdrm-dev package solved this problem for me.
