Hi Innis, I don't know how it works with rpms, but on Debian, there are generally two versions of library packages - the 'normal' version, and the development version. eg glutg3 and glutg3-dev. If you are compiling a program as opposed to just running it, you need to install the development version. I expect that the rpm system probably has a similar distinction. Good luck!
