comment out the mesa part, install libdrm (remember that the --prefix
in the script is not the one that should be on your distro and that
you'll need to copy the files from the drm/build directory into the
right place - i think it should be /usr/ for fedora, but i'm not sure
) and then uncomment the mesa part. it should go on after you compile
the git libdrm.
it seems that the new mesa version needs newer libdrm ones. as i've
told you, you might also need other packages since i don't know which
ones fedora install.
