Dear Waldek,

   I googled a bit to see if my problem with compiling the graphics is apparent
in other programs. There seem to be quite a few such instances, failing with
a similar error message. The cure seems to be twofold:

* missing shared library (but I am confident that I have installed all
the necessary
  libraries, so that should not cause problems)
* it seems that gcc from a certain version onwards (4.2) has a problem with some
  older code if the compiler optimisation is set to -O2 (I use gcc
4.6.1-9ubuntu)
  So I tried to remove/replace that compiler option in the makefiles,
but that failed too.
  I fear that I do not really understand the make process and which
files are needed
  to be recompiled to make the viewport (for 3D), I tried to change
the compiler flags
  for files in ../src/graph/view3D/   (there are two such instances there)

I will use some more spare time to see if I can localize the problem
better. If you could
pass me a short mail how to make sure I use un-optimized gcc that
would be hepfull too.

Kind regards
BF.

PS: I there anybody out having also the problem to compile the
graphics, or is that my
particular problem alone? [In which case investigating this may be
silly, as my system
may be broken?]
