ok,
...I guess this is kind of a newbie question:  I installed the RC1 over  
apple's x11 v0.3beta on 10.2.8:  it launches fine, programs distributed  
with it seem to run ok (except for xclock?), but then I noticed that I  
can't compile against any of the x11 libs (especially libGL and  
libGLU)!   I can see them sitting in /usr/X11R6/libs, and the include  
files are in the correct places, so is there something I've overlooked?  
  It should probably be noted that I'm also running a fink installation,  
but I know I have the correct virtual packages installed (this release  
should be kinda "drag and drop" with apple's, right?)

...also wanted to make sure that the RC2 prebuilt binaries are ok for  
install on 10.2.8;  the above says they're prebuilt for panther  
(10.3+), then later mentions the support back to 10.1?

thanx,
