eventually it turned out that a similar problem was fixed by

yum install libpng-devel

For other readers, someone else posted that on OpenSUSE, this was the magic install:

sudo zypper in libpng16-devel

As you can see, it finds the GL headers, but fails on glEnd and then complains 
it cannot find the GL libraries. I have the mesa-libGL mesa-libGL-devel 
mesa-libGLU mesa-libGLU-devel packages installed but I still get the errors.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance
