combining gluLookAt and object transformations

Hi…
I’m trying to write a simple application that allows one to place an object in the 3D space (by specifying translation/rotation coordinates), and to view the scene from any point in the space (by specifying eye coordinates and sight direction). I’m using gluLookAt(), as I have seen in many guides and tutorials.
But something doesn’t work well. If I call

glLookAt(1.0, 0.0, -5.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);

and then

glTranslatef(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);

I think I should see the object in the center of my viewpoint (because it is in 1,0,0; my eye is in 1,0,-5, and looks at 1,0,0). But this doesn’t happen: I see my object slightly shifted on the right.
Could anyone help me?

Thanks!!!

It should work.
Is your object modelled around the origin (of object space)?

See if you using glOrtho or glPerspective they both work differently, first try with ortho then negate the Z and use it for glPerspective that should work
