I really appreciate the prompt help. I figured out the problem and it was concerned with my RHEL installation which was rhel-5-client-i386. Well, the client doesn't come with the freeglut-devel package. I installed rhel-5-server-i386 and it had both freeglut and freeglut-devel packages. Things are working for me now. Thanks again for all the help. cheers, Arun On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 7:50 PM, Dag Wieers <dag@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 1 Nov 2008, A K Arun wrote: > > Thanks George. >> RHEL 5 has freeglut-2.4.0-7.1.el5.i386.rpm coming with it and no >> development >> package.
