!?!

Well, you can get gl.h and other GL headers from www.opengl.org somewhere.

However, 'libGL.so' utterly has to be there - that *is* the interface and if it's
not there then no OpenGL programs will work.

Probably, you have the 'back end' part of the OpenGL driver that X uses installed
but don't have the 'front end' part.   I'm not really familiar with ATI cards so
I don't know how it works.  Probably, this is something tied up with the DRI stuff.

Sorry I can't help.

However, it's safe to say that this isn't a PLIB issue.  There isn't an OpenGL
program on the planet that doesn't need libGL.so!
