You have to tell the configure script where to look for the headers and libs. I can't tell you what to do in this special case, but a good starting point is to run 'configure --help' and look for options that could be set. Then look at the log configure creates to see where it fails.


Compiling the suplied gears.c, the first error was:
$ gcc gears.c
gears.c:39:21: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory

I've tried adding -gl,-glu,-glut,-I/usr/local/include/GL/glut.h in
several combinations (some capped) without result.

An application using glut had the following options for the compiler:
-I/usr/local/include/ -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lglut -lm -lGLU -lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXi

You really have to set the path to the include directory with -I. Not the path including the filename. And the libs are case sensitive too, I think the example above should give you a good start.
