Public bug reported:

I test the software I write against GTK+ master, and for that I build
cairo and pango master as part of the build process with jhbuild. After
getting a new laptop with AMD graphics, mesa kept freezing so I switched
to fglrx. The two libraries now fail to build.

cairo fails to link because it can't find -lGL, because it is stored in
/usr/lib/fglrx, which is not included in the library search path for
whatever reason. So far, solutions to the problem I've found online say
to manually create a symbolic link to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so in
/usr/lib. There must be some better way, especially since this leads to
the next problem.

In pango's case, it fails late in the build process because pkg-config
can't find an OpenGL pkg-config file, which is required by the cairo one
produced by the previous cairo build. I'm not sure what to do in this
case.

I have installed fglrx-updates-dev as well, to no avail.

No idea if fglrx non-updates is affected either.

Ubuntu GNOME 14.10
fglrx-updates 2:14.201-0ubuntu2 installed via Additional Drivers
Lenovo G50-45
AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics

Thanks.
