[PyOpenGL-Users] Problem compiling on Linux: GL.ARB._shader_objects

[Ben J. <ben...@im...>]

Sorry for the lame newbie question. I hope I can be of more use in the 
future.

I'm compiling PyOpenGL in the usual manner on Linux (RedHat distrib, not 
that I think it matters). I get the error at the end of this email, a 
long way into the compilation. I seem to have fulfilled all the 
dependency requirements stated on the PyOpenGL web page. I'm not big on 
the detail of OpenGL, and I've never had use for the ARB extension 
stuff. Any help greatly appreciated.

If you can't suggest a solution to this problem, then a way of stopping 
this extension being built would be a useful backup solution!

Many thanks in advance,
Ben.
