GLUT is on the Red Hat 8.0 installation CD's, actually (disc 3, I think). They just aren't installed by default. More annoyingly, they aren't included in any of the package categories presented at installation, so you need to click the "everything" button to get the installer to pick it up. > glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm (107KB) > glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm (179KB) > [I am not sure if they are both required; I installed them both.] You will need the glut-devel package to compile FlightGear (that's where the headers are). The glut RPM is sufficient to run a FlightGear binary. > [To my knowledge, these rpms are non-RedHat-specific. Otherwise they > would include "rh" in the filenames. Can anybody confirm this?] They should probably work on any RPM distribution. GLUT is a software-only library with no dependencies outside X11, GL and GLU. Andy -- Andrew J.
