./configure fails to find GLUT

I am running ubuntu linux and downloaded the svn today. I have libglut.a and libglut.so.3.8.0 installed in /usr/lib, as well as libglut.so and libglut.so.3 soft linked to libglut.so.3.8.0, but when I run configure it tells me:

error: GLUT library not found or too old version. 3.7 (beta) or later required.

ubuntu uses debian packages, and I have installed freeglut3, freeglut3-dev and freeglut3-dbg. I am not terribly knowledgable about linux, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Edit- I have removed config.log as it is very large and andreasj copied the only relevant part. If anyone wants to see it let me know and I can repost it.

Code: Select all

configure:12818: checking for glut library
configure:12843: g++ -o conftest -g -O2  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib  conftest.cc   -lutil -L/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread  -lGL  -lGLU  -lglut -lXi -lXmu >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

You need to install libxmu-dev.

Thanks a lot. That seems to have done the trick.
