RedHat shipped 7.2 with a broken version of Mesa.  Upgrade to the
latest version and it'll work just fine.

If that's too much trouble - you could grab the sources of the PLIB
library
(URL below) and comment out the error messages in plib/src/pu/pu.cxx and
plib/src/ssg/ssg.cxx - then recompile/reinstall PLIB and then recompile/reinstall
TuxKart.

However the error is RedHat's fault (they picked a version of
the Mesa library that had not yet been released).
