Well, it sounds like that original error is the source of your problems.

You *probably* don't have GLUT installed (or not installed properly).

You should have:

     /usr/include/GL/glut.h
     /usr/lib/libglut.so

glXGetCurrentContext is defined in /usr/include/GL/glx.h - which I don't include
explicitly because GLUT handles that in /usr/include/GL/glut.h.

So - check that GLUT is installed - if you had to force the HAVE_GLUT variable then
the configure script didn't auto-detect GLUT - which fits with this theory.
