Version: 1.0-4363 and glut problem

[Gadget]

after installing linux driver Version: 1.0-4363 I get the following error when compiling OpenGL:

----------------------------------------------------

that's known problem with rh9 glut package, try download glut*.src.rpm from www.rpmfind.net
,compile and installed it over default glut and glut-devel
that should do

Yep, and you can find the full history/explanation of this problem by searching this single forum for your undefined symbols.

There is no -lglx.

The only libglx.so file on your system is in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions -- it is NOT intended to be used by user programs, only X itself.

If you try to link against that libglx.so, it WILL fail with a bunch of other unresolved symbols (stuff that the X binary defines, I think). The only purpose of libglx.so is to implement the GLX extension, server-side.

The glX* functions that user programs call are provided either by libX11, or by libGL.
