[PD] uh oh... gem linux compile question

[David Kendall]

Thanks for the advice, but I think my problem may come from somewhere
else. I have re-installed XFree86 now, and I have installed glu-devel,
and OpenGLContext-2.0.0b1-1.src.rpm, which apears to have little or
nothing to do with my particular OpenGL needs. I think I can assume I
have all of the OpenGL tools that I need, installed as part of FC4. 

This makes me wonder if perhaps the compiler is looking in the wrong
places for the headers and includes. I notice at the beginning of
compilation there is this message:

HEAD: /usr/include /usr/local/include ../../../GemLibs/
LIBS: ../../../GemLibs/ /usr/local/lib /usr/local/src

... perhaps if I can figure out exactly which files Gem is looking for,
and I place these files in one or more of the above directories, then I
may be able to compile successfully. what might the filenames be, that
Gem is looking for when it compiles?

I hate to admit failure, but I am starting to suspect that Gem is
incompatible with FC4 at this moment. Perhaps a different linux distro
might prove more useful than FC4 in this endeavor. Still, if there is
anything else I can try short of installing Debian or Suse, I would very
much appreciate any remaining advice.

Thanks,
David K.
