For some reason, the configure script for 0.4.3 seems to insist on using the 32-bit shared libraries instead of their 64-bit counterparts on SUSE 9.2 for x86_64. The exact error message that I receive is:
GLUT library not found or too old version. 3.7 (beta) or later required
I've attached the config log, but here is what I'm seeing that's causing the thing to fail:
configure
result: noconfigure

Should I be passing a flag to the configure script?
Thanks for your help!
P.S. I noticed that the configure script didn't locate /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so. I looked in /usr/lib and noticed that the file existed, but it was a broken symlink. I had to recreate it out of /usr/lib64.
