I can't compile 0.17, ./configure says I don't have OpenGL libs installed, but they are (including development and debug packages):
ls /usr/lib/libGL*
/usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGLU.a /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060502
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
./configure output (SDL network libraries are installed,too):
checking for SDL_JoystickOpen... no
*** This version of SDL doesn't have joystick support.
*** Configuring without joystick support.
checking for Mix_OpenAudio in -lSDL_mixer... no
*** SDL_mixer not found. Configuring without audio support.

*** Hmm, you don't seem to have OpenGL libraries installed in the standard
*** location (/usr/lib). I'll check in /usr/X11R6/lib, since

I use Debian testing (which will soon become the next stable Debian release) and tried with Mesa packages from testing, unstable and experimental.
