[PD] [dev] building Gem on Fedora 1/ CCRMA

[Michael Berkowski]

Greetings List,

I'm seeking advice on building Gem-0.90 from gem.iem.at for a Fedora 1 
PlanetCCRMA system.  I had been running 0.888-pre1 from planetccrma, but 
gettings frequent segfaults when turning off rendering.

For auxlibs, I get:

[mjb at Galactic_AC GemLibs]$ ./makeauxlibs
./makeauxlibs: line 5: test: =: unary operator expected

I've made sure glut is up to date, and installed the XFree86 sdk for 
good measure, but to no avail.  I found an earlier thread in which the 
proposed solution had been to install glut-devel, but I didn't find the 
followup to know if this actually worked.  I did it anyway.  To verify 
Mesa and GLUT:

[mjb at Galactic_AC mjb]$ rpm -qa | grep Mesa
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-55
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-55

[mjb at Galactic_AC mjb]$ rpm -qa | grep glut
freeglut-1.3-1.20020125.3
glut-3.7-12.lvn.1.1
glut-devel-3.7-12.lvn.1.1

System specs:
2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrmasmp
dual AMD opteron
gcc 3.2.3
video: nvidia FX5700

I would truly appreciate any advice.  I'm still too much a novice to 
edit configure scripts myself (or to move away from Fedora, for that 
matter).  I get the list as a digest so please CC me on replies.

Thanks very much,
