[MINC-users] compilation on fedora

[Simon Fristed Eskildsen]

Hi Soren,
If configure cannot find the glut lib, the -lglut is not added to the 
gcc command. So you need to make sure that configure finds the glut lib:
checking for OpenGL library... -lGL
checking for OpenGL Utility library... -lGLU
checking for GLUT library... -lglut

The autoconf macro AX_CHECK_GLUT is used to check for glut:
dnl Check for GLUT. If GLUT is found, the required compiler and linker
dnl flags are included in the output variables "GLUT_CFLAGS" and
dnl "GLUT_LIBS", respectively.

Since adding -lglut to the gcc manually seems to work, you obviously 
have glut installed. If it is installed outside /usr/lib try setting the 
LDFLAGS environment variable.
export LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/libglut
...and perhaps the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=-L/path/to/libglut
The last one however should not be necessary as the run-time shared 
library loader finds the glut lib ok.
