Cannot Link glut w/RedHat 9 (Shrike)

OpenGL
1

I installed the 3.7-8 distribution of glut just as I had with RedHat 8 …

rpm -Uvh glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm

I can’t get even the simplest redbook example to link …

g++ -o ./gtest cube.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lcap -lpthread -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -lm

Any ideas why?

BTW … I installed nVidia driver 4363 also

Thanks!

There are a couple posts about this linking problem already, just look through some of the threads in this forum or use the search feature.

I used the glut 3.7-4 which I was using under Redhat 8.0, and forced installed it on Redhat 9.0

I have to RPM’s just email me and mabye can send them to you.

Also check out the other post on this topic already posted on here in this forum.

Thanks but I found that other thread and succeeded in getting 3.7-8 installed per that other website … https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=879028&forum_id=76063

RE: compiling on redhat 9 ftgl/glut fixes

Ok theres a great and easy workaround for this! Basically you need to swap the glut libraries that come with redhat 9 for the ones that come with redhat 8

this is a very simple procedure,

  1. download the files glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm and glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm from redhats website (or any mirror). I got them here:
    [Software & Download Center - Red Hat Customer Portal option](Software & Download Center - Red Hat Customer Portal ption) s=match_partial&search%3Afield%3Aarch=i386%2Ci586%2Ci686%2Cnoarch&search%3Ago=Search

  2. you need to force install them on your system:
    rpm -i --force glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm
    rpm -i --force glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm

  3. erase the old libraries (devel first)
    rpm --erase glut-devel-3.7-12
    rpm --erase glut-3.7-12

  4. repeat step 2 to freshen up the system

  5. type ldconfig to refresh the system libraries

Thats it, works perfectly and also fixes the FTGL problems!

Actually, when I tried to remove the old installation it failed, saying it wasnt installed so I ignored that step and it worked fine.

Thanks again!

actually you just need to link it with libXi.so (-lXi) and you’ll be fine…

I too am new to openGL (and programming in general). I cannot seem to link the GLUT libraries (using redhat 9). I know that it is installed.
[dwayne@magus slices]$ make
gcc -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -o slices slices.o integral.o expint.o fluence.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglut
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [slices] Error 1

It is probably something small and silly. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

7

The library is most likely not in your LIB PATH. Not sure which environment variable RedHat uses. You can also explicitly link to the path using -l/…/lib/glut or wherever it is located.

8

Where does RedHat store GLUT?
