[PyOpenGL-Devel] Mandrake Linux compile problems (v. 2.0.0.44)

[Derek S. <de...@re...>]

	This is an FYI only, so you can fix the build problems in the next
release.

	I can't get PyOpenGL-2.0.0.44 to compile under a clean Mandrake
Linux 8.1 install.

	I tried to both 'rpm --rebuild' the SRPM, and also to compile from
the .tar.gz distribution.  Both fail during the 'python setup.py install'
stage.

	The problem is that it's not looking in /usr/X11R6/lib/ for my X11 
libraries.  Here is where it fails:

gcc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.1/GL.ARB.matrix_palette.o -L/usr/lib 
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -Lbuild/temp.linux-i686-2.1 -lGL -lX11 
-lXext -lGLU -linterface_util -lGLE -o 
build/lib.linux-i686-2.1/OpenGL/GL/ARB/matrix_palette.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

	Note the 'cannot find -lX11' error.  And yet:

[root@dereks PyOpenGL-2.0.0.44]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a    /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6@
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so@  /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2*
[root@dereks PyOpenGL-2.0.0.44]# 

	If I copy libX11* to /usr/lib/ then it finds libX11.a but
complains about libXext.  I assume it will do that with all libs in the
/usr/X11R6/lib directory.
