Re: [Plib-users] (cory vs. pui) The attack of setValuator

Jan,

I haven't made any progress on this issue. I added a post to the
ubuntu forums, but still don't have a reply.

I did look in config.log and found the following:
configure:6841: checking for glNewList in -lGL
configure:6876: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    conftest.c -lGL    -lSM
-lICE -lXi -lXmu -lXext -lX11  -lm >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

and:
configure:6929: checking for glNewList in -lMesaGL
configure:6964: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    conftest.c -lMesaGL    -lSM
-lICE -lXi -lXmu -lXext -lX11  -lm >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lMesaGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

In my searches, I found some suggestion that I should check for libGl.so
I found it in /usr/lib/
libGl.so is a link to libGl.so.1 which is a link to libGl.so.1.2

I also found a suggestion that I should try using:
./configure --with-lGL=/usr
but that failed, so I also tried:
./configure --with-lGL=/usr/
./configure --with-lGL=/usr/lib
./configure --with-lGL=/usr/lib/
all fail.

I have no idea what else to do.
