CVS installation

Hi
I've got 0.4.1D installed from the rpms with no problems, but the configure file is coming up with the "GLUT library missing or out of date" message, despite me having 3.7 installed (I've tried both mesa and freeglut). Is it posible for me to just paste the CVS data over the original data directory in the same way as with mods?
Thanks
Richard

make sure that if there is a -devel package that you have it.

For example, you need the glut-devel or freeglut-devel or mesa-devel (maybe -dev is used instead of -devel)

Also, can you give us some information about your distro and computer (are you using Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake, etc)

In debian, I currently have glutg3-dev and glutg3. But if you use mesa, then there is the appropiate mesaXXX-dev etc. that you need to have. or freeglut-dev.

I've installed mesa, mesa-devel and mesademos (there's a libglut.so.3.7 or whatever it's called in /usr/lib as well). I also tried installing glut 3.7, but it required the xmkmf command to create a makefile, which I couldn't find anywhere. I'm running suse 9.0; celeron 1.7GHz; 384Mb ram; intel 845GL chipset. I haven't got any hardware graphics accelleration, but the 0.4.1D version runs well on medium graphics and windowed.
