I have experienced difficulty as well with compiling certain programs that depend on GL.

From a newbie's [ :) ] perspective, Mesa / GL installation is not straightforward. I'd like to build an RPM eventually that's help others in my situation.

If you have nVidia, you must download/install their driver.

I also met problem when I run GL/GLU related programs. with RH9. It works in ATI radon, but not ATI 128 pro.

I guess, when installing RH9 openGL is installed for higher ATI cards, such Radon.., but not for lower ATI cards.

Is that a possible reason?
