Argh, as Steve pointed out, mixing the nVidia and Mesa stuff may or may
not be a very wise thing to do. I apologize for not paying proper
attention!

Secondly, it occured to me, that I actually never did compile tuxkart on
my mandrake 8 system - I did on my 7.2. I just tried, and it seems my
version of plib (1.2) is too old for the version of tuxkart (0.0.6) I
have. (The homepage states 1.4 of plib, but the configure script does not
check, it seems).

With respect to glut, etc. 

Here is where my headers go (which is wrong, according to standard, but at
least they are found)

[madsdyd@ripley tuxkart-0.0.6]$ locate glut.h
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glut.h
[madsdyd@ripley tuxkart-0.0.6]$ locate glu.h
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glu.h

After installing the plib library, I have no troubles compiling tuxkart,
and it runs with approx 0.3 fps on my laptop :-/

I have only ever installed a mandrake 8 on a nvidia machine once, and
there I installed the neccesary mesa stuff _before_ installing the nvidia
driver. That worked well, with respect to the opengl stuff.

I am pretty sure, yes.

At some point, bits have to go into packets and routers need to make 
decisions on them. Changes at that level is what I want to hear about, not 
strategic company relationships.
