I am a absolute novice as far as FlightGear is concerned and not very skilled at using Linux less so CVS. I asked for help on this with exactly the same errors you have experienced under heading newbie CRY for HELP freeglut was problem. I wiped all traces I could find on my system of freeglut 2.4.0 I then tenuosly proceeded to CVS compile and make etc. No problem at all with outcome everything solved. Suse10.00 Amd 3200+ 64bit processor. I just cannot fly the thing but it all works. Cessna 172 to F16-3d Wish I could Fly it. Curtis Olsen pointed me in the right direction
