A problem with same symptom has been fixed in the CVS repository a few weeks ago. Could you try with a fresh checkout ? (you'll need autoconf and automake) If it still fails, please send along the config.log file. > Before I spend more time on NGL/NUI perhaps you could answer me a > question.

Yes, and it's being extensively "extended" by one of the developper for specialized audio software, and it's been also used for peculiar optical interactive stuff. Basically you can copy/paste most of your GL rendering code into a template NUI widget, wire events, and here you go. > And we like to draw our 3D mesh somewhere on the screen.

There is a widget with some sort of pluggable renderer, see nuiMesh: http://home.gna.org/ngl/doc/nui/classnui_mesh.html The examples/viewer in NUI will use an instance of nuiMesh to display 3DS files. You can easily build upon this example.
