[GEM-dev] Does Gem makefile on OSX look for FTGL static libs? compiling Gem CVS on OSX from terminal

[chris clepper]

I don't use the makefiles on OSX, but the linker on OSX will often grab the
first lib it finds and link that.  FTGL might have built and installed
static and dynamic copies, so maybe remove any dylib files for FTGL and try
again?
