SVN compile does not find GLUT

Hi,

Trying to compile current SVN version, and ./configure is failing with the following error -

checking for glut32 library... no
checking for glut library... no
configure: error: GLUT library not found or too old version. 3.7 (beta) or later required.

I DO have GLUT installed and it is 3.7 (or later!) - installed from ubuntu repositories. I have both freeGLUT and GLUT dev packages installed, is there some sort of conflict here?

I am using Ubuntu 6.06 and as far as I know have all the requisite libs installed...

Any suggestions appreciated, but will post back if I fix it myself.

EDIT: added listing of files installed by freeglut and glut packages that I have.

There is the bug in the configure script that it reports a missing GLUT library although a different library is missing.
The config log says: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu"

Try installing the "libxmu-dev" package and repeat. If the error comes again, look for a similar error line. Maybe then it's the "Xi" library missing.

Yep, installing libxmu-dev and libxmu-headers packages fixed this error.

Thanks. VS now configures correctly.

Just curious, but, is there a list of the dependencies required to compile vegastrike available anywhere or should I just have a look through the header files?
