No problem, thanks for the help, though this will confuse you...

I know that their different packages, but I figured that sence glut runs on GL that glut would install GL as well... Bad assumption. It turns out that xfree86 comes with its own gl drivers. Perhaps I overwrote or failed to verwrite these drivers.

Supposedly I have Mesa 6.0 built and installed as per the install readme that comes with mesa. This makes a libOSMesa.so, but no libMesaGL.so. Ive tried ln to make a soft link from libMesaGL to libOSMesa to no avail. Im using fedora core 1.9 (2) and linux 2.6.3 general kernel I guess (i got it form kernel.org), on a ati rage 128 using dell inspiron 8000 laptop, with a hammerfall dsp multiface pcmcia card that doesnt work with pd for some reason. Im generally building stuff from scratch, but sometimes I use synaptic (no Mesa libraries there though... Planet ccrma with apt)

Yes, thank you!

configure still dies...

This compiles to a.out with no complaint! How come this file compiles, but the configure script dies?

This is where they are!
libGL.so and libOSMesa.so

It does! Thank you so much!
Dont give up yet though...
Is there some way to verify that the configure script is doing the right thing?
