Yes, thanks for reminding me.  I have rolled out new releases of
Display and Register with the fix.  They are now available on the
BIC software web page http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/software/distribution/

Yes, you need both GL and glut. 

The problem with Redhat 9 systems is that you now need to explicitly
specify -lXi when linking, as Adam Thomas mentioned here recently.
The new register and display packages now do this, so his workaround
should not be necessary.  (Please let me know if this is incorrect)
