compiling simgear and flightgear
I have openGL working on my redhat 7.3 computer via Mesa. The gears demos work fine, as does Terminus.
I want to compile and install simgear, which is required for flightgear.
I compile simgear and it ends with these lines:
checking for XmuLookupStandardColormap in -lXmu... yes
checking for glNewList in -lGLcore... no
checking for glNewList in -lGL... yes
checking for gluLookAt in -lGLU... yes
checking for glutGetModifiers in -lglut... no
checking for glutGameModeString in -lglut... no
Unable to find the necessary OpenGL or GLUT libraries.
See config.log for automated test details and results ...
The log doesn't tell me anything intelligible. These files should be the relevant ones yes?
/usr/lib/libglut.so.3
/usr/lib/libglut.so.3.7
/usr/lib/libglut.so
/usr/include/GL/fglut.h
/usr/include/GL/glut.h
/usr/local/include/GL/glut.h
/usr/local/include/GL/glutf90.h
/usr/local/lib/libglut.so.3.7.0
/usr/local/lib/libglut.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libglut.so
/usr/local/lib/libglut.la
How do I tell simgear to use those libraries in /usr/lib?. --with-gl and --with-opengl don't change the outcome.

Did you install mesa from a tarball or by rpm?

Version 4.02 from a Tarball installed as an RPM using Checkinstall. I'm noticing there is a version 5 now.

Maybe you should try installing it the traditional way first.

It is installed correctly. UT2003 demo works, as does Terminus, as do the gears screen savers.

I have solved this problem.
I built the new Mesa 5.0 and installed it, and now SimGear gets further in compilation, asking for the metakit, whatever that is. I'm checking into the readme's as it is directing me to.
Thanks for the suggestions. I guess Mesa 5 really is required.

One last question, did you use checkinstall when you built Mesa-5.0?
I've built simgear against the previous version of mesa several times with no problems, but I've never bothered with checkinstall.

Yes I built mesa 5 from the tarball using configure, then make, then using "checkinstall make install".
Granted this was all done remotely, so I haven't tested if Mesa is working yet heh heh heh. But I'm hopeful.

Interesting, I wonder if simgear now needs Mesa-5.0?
I might have to download the latest version and do a quick test.

Nope, just installed simgear-0.3.1 without any version of Mesa installed, however I did have glut and the nvidia glx package (which contains nvidia's openGL) installed.

I have installed glut and plib and mesa 5. Simgear 0.3.3 wants the metakit library now. I found it within Simgear but when I went into the directory I could not ./configure it. I realize that I probably need to do something like this:
./configure -prefix=/usr
But searching this site, my books, info for make, and the README did not turn up anything that I could use to understand how to configure this.
I also found an rpm for MetaKit-2.4.9.2 and installed that but I still could not proceed with SimGear-0.3.3
Does anyone have a suggestion that I could try?
