Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Newbie problem with PyOpenGL build

[Douglas S. B. <db...@br...>]

If make can't find GL/glut.h, then you probably need to install Mesa. Under
RedHat, that might involve something like:

<Put CD with RPMs in CD-ROM Drive> 
mount /mnt/cdrom 
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS 
rpm -ihv Mesa-*.rpm 

That should get the libraries, demos, and development header files (including
glut.h). It appears that PyOpenGL does not yet work with Mesa-4.0, so stick
with with the 3.x series.

If you build Mesa from sources, and you get an error installing PyOpenGL, try
configuring Mesa with the --without-glide option like so:

./configure --without-glide
