Thanks for the suggestion ... but it doesn't work on my system.
Same gag:

checking for glNewList in -lGL... no
checking for glNewList in -lMesaGL... no
configure: error: could not find working GL library

FWIW, plib-1.8.5-rc1 exhibits the same behavior.

I really cannot imagine what it's unhappy about.  As previously
mentioned, the following program compiles and indeed runs without
error:

#include <GL/gl.h>

int main() {
   GLuint foo;
   GLenum bar;
   glNewList(foo, bar);
}

It compiles and links under either of the commands:
      g++ test.c -lGL
      gcc test.c -lGL

This is under Debian "etch".
