Re: Compilation error with freeglut

I really appreciate the prompt help.
I figured out the problem and it was concerned with my RHEL installation
which was rhel-5-client-i386. Well, the client doesn't come with the
freeglut-devel package. I installed rhel-5-server-i386 and it had both
freeglut and freeglut-devel packages.

Things are working for me now.

Thanks again for all the help.

cheers,
Arun

Thanks George.
RHEL 5 has freeglut-2.4.0-7.1.el5.i386.rpm coming with it and no
development
package. I tried to install freeglut-devel-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm (I couldn't
find
a development package with a higher version i.e. something compatible with
freeglut-2.4) but I get a message that it depends on freeglut-2.2.0. So I
removed freeglut-2.4 from my laptop and tried to
install freeglut-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm. Now it says that it needs
libGl.so.1(LIBGL).

I don't know what to do ? Did I break something by removing freeglut-2.4 ?


This is what you should have:

[dag@rhun ~]# rpm -q freeglut freeglut-devel
freeglut-2.4.0-7.1.el5
freeglut-devel-2.4.0-7.1.el5

Please stick tothe packages that come with your distribution version if you
want to stay away from "bricolage". RHEL5 _does_ come with both.
