GLUT 3.5 is *VERY* old.  I think you need version 3.7 or later - you should be
able to find that either on http://www.opengl.org or at http://www.mesa3d.org

Well, all those symbols would be defined in /usr/include/GL/glut.h

Try this:

   grep GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13 /usr/include/GL/glut.h

...what does it say?

I don't know - but I'm sure we can find out!

What graphics card do you have?  Mesa 3.0 is quite old too - we are up to
3.2 or so now...for some graphics card, 3.0 will be OK - but for others,
you wouldn't get enough performance to run Tux.
