failed to install PyOpengl-2.0.1.08 on Mandrake 10.0

[danu kusmana]

Im using Python 2.3.4 and Mandrake linux 10.0. I don't
know whats wrong when Im trying to install the
PyOpengl-2.0.1.08. I got the message:

gcc -pthread -shared
build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/interface/GLUT.o
-L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -Lbuild/temp.linux-i686-2.3 -lGL
-lX11 -lXext -lGLU -lglut -lXi -lXmu -linterface_util
-o build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/OpenGL/GLUT.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglut
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I suspect it have something to do with the glut. Then
I tried to install glut-3.6 but problem arise again It
require libMesaGLU.so.3 . I install the Mesa-6.2
everything ok. But the libMesaGLU still doesnt exist.
In the website it state that the packet doesnt include
the libMesaGLU anymore. but instead they use another
packed oss-openglu-20000925..rpm. But the packet
failed also to install becuse it require
libstdc++-libc6-1-1.so.2. I updated the gcc from 3.3.2
to 3.4.2 but the library required still doenst exist.

What should I do to fix all this problems????

Thanx

danu

Well.... you will have to take this with a big grain of salt, because it has
been some while since I did much work with gcc, but it appears to me that
the command line cited...

gcc -pthread -shared
build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/interface/GLUT.o
-L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -Lbuild/temp.linux-i686-2.3 -lGL
-lX11 -lXext -lGLU -lglut -lXi -lXmu -linterface_util
-o build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/OpenGL/GLUT.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglut
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
is trying to build one of the objects that's probably part of the glut
library itself. The linker complains it can't find -lglut. '-lglut' tells
the linker to link up with the glut library, found in one of directories
specified with the -L flag. But if it's trying to build that library now,
you shouldn't be trying to link with it.

So, here's two things to try:

1) Assuming GLUT.o is actually part of the glut library that's trying to
be built here, find the equivalent line in the makefile and remove '-lglut'.
If it compiles without complaint, things should be OK. If there are lots of
errors about unresolved links, that implies to me GLUT.o is not actually
part of the glut library. Put the -lglut back in and try the next step:

2) Figure out where the glut library actually lives on your system. (It
appears to be /usr/lib/libglut.so.3.7. 1 on my SuSE 8.2 system.) If that
location is not one of the directories already specified with your -L flags,
add it. If it is already in that path, then I guess I don't know what the
problem is.

So... there's a couple of things to try. No promises, but I know I hate it
when I am just simply stuck with nothing left to try.

Good luck.
