[MINC-users] compilation on fedora

Wed Jun 28 07:21:48 EDT 2006

Hi Simon,
 Thanks for the advice. It seems that configure cannot find glut on my
Fedora 5 (although it is there).  I get a "no" where you get lglut.
I manually edited the Makefile after configure and put GLUTLIB=-lglut,
that worked. Same thing with register. Not sure why configure cannot
establish -lglut.
I am working on a little note on how to solve a few additional
problems on Fedora 5 in case others a stuck with the same issues.

Cheers
Soren
