looking at the whole again, I believe you may be right - it looks very
much a gcc
problem than a mesa specific problem. I will try to sort this one out
perhaps on the
another newsgroup or mailing list more specific to gcc. Thanks for the
guys who wrote
back here!

well, okay, the code was a sample of the tutorials off NeHe and I was
trying out the
compilation to assure myself that I had installed Mesa correctly. The
fact that I can
compile the programme code as root demonstrates (in my eyes anyway) that
there is
nothing wrong with the sample programme code and nothing wrong with Mesa
- however I
seem to have some issues with the compiler as a normal  user.

Thanks again!
