It might be helpful if you could redirect all warning messages to a file
and upload it somewhere (I guess it will be *way* too big to be sent to
this list).

The library might reside in /usr/X11R6/lib which is considered to be wrong.
In this case, make some symlinks or do, although this is inellegant:

CC='gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib' CXX='g++
-I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib' ./configure

An other option could be that the library is broken in some way (for
example, accidently stripped).

However, please do not make things worser by installing GLUT from a source
tarball on a RPM-based system ! Usually, people end up with two GLUT
installations where one is not known to the package manager.

Afterwards, applications might compile since at least *one* GLUT library is
at the right place, however, it's the worsest way to solve the problem.
