btw, you should first specify the path and then load the library...
(but this won't help you mutch with your problem)

hmm, never seen this.
you could try several things:
a) compile Gem without glut-support (you won't need it if you don't care 
about the teapot); just re-run configure with "--without-glut"

b) try to link against libXi (which provides the XGetExtensionVersion): 
just add "-lXi" to the linker-flags in the Gem/src/Gnu/Makefile

although i have no experience with slackware, everything else looks fine 
to me. (and i only have XFree 4.2.1.1)
