Any one can explain the difference between libglvnd and egl?

You should be able to install and remove the libglvnd files with "make install" and "make uninstall", respectively.

Generally, though, you'll want to just use your distro's package manager: If your distro offers a libglvnd package, then use the package manager to install or remove it. If your distro doesn't offer a libglvnd package, then libglvnd probably won't be useful to you anyway because other packages won't be built to use it.

As for libglvnd versus EGL: EGL is an interface that a program uses to talk to a graphics driver. Libglvnd lets multiple drivers coexist on the same system without clobbering each other, and makes sure that a program talks to the correct driver.
