If you have the glut dev files installed but not the libxmu dev/header files, ./configure will complain that it can't find glut.
Obviously a bit confusing for people compiling for the first time...
I would provide a patch if the build system wasn't a complete black hole and makefiles weren't gibberish to me.
./configure reports glut missing instead of libxmu

Unfortunately that's the same reason that this error message hasn't been fixed yet.
The autoconf scripts are pretty much black holes, just because there are so many layers of autogeneration: autoconf-> automake-> etc etc-> ./configure-> shellscript-> ./config.status-> make
However I will add a message if glut fails to also check that libxmu-devel is installed.

That should do it - the important thing is to give useful feedback. Remember to mention both libxmu-dev and libxmu-headers.ace123 wrote:However I will add a message if glut fails to also check that libxmu-devel is installed.
