Newest build crashes on startup with an assertion failed error

[Azeirah]

Downloaded the most recent build, extracted it and it fails with an error when I try to execute it.

md5sum of the build 63ada2efbafefaaadb478c7a2cede87d servo-latest.tar.gz

laura@laura-desktop:~/Downloads/servo$ ./servo
assertion failed: !library.is_null() (thread main, at /root/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/surfman-0.1.4/src/platform/unix/x11/context.rs:44)

This is on Linux Mint

It will be interesting to learn if this goes away when #25853 is merged. Until then, are you running x11 or wayland? This appears to be coming from loading libGL.so at runtime in this code; perhaps you can figure out what package you can install that will give you the GL libraries you need for your distribution?

Surfman wants to open the wrong file name.
I have libGL.so on Debian Testing only because of the libglvnd-dev package.
sudo apt install libglvnd-dev fixes the crash on Ubuntu.

I'm using x11. As @Darkspirit suggested, installing libglvnd-dev fixes this error for me.
