I installed jahshaka the other day on a redhat 9 box. While the './configure' went fine the 'make' bombed with something about the 'glut.so.o'(?). After a little searching around I found the answer, answered from Jah himself. Here is what the work around is: 1. You will need to get both 'glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm and glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm'. You will want to install these using the 'rpm -ivh --force <filename>' 2. Then you will want to remove the newer glut that comes with RH9, 'rpm -e glut-3.7-12'(i think that is the version). 3. After these have been removed, do step one again to freshen the packages. 4. then run ldconfig After I had done that the './configure, make, make install' worked without a problem and the app was up and running. I hope this will be helpful for you, reading that you are going to install it I thought I would share my experience. Jon
