Many thanks to Rob Campbell for, well, not giving the solution to my
problem, but pointing me into the right direction and making me keep
digging...

Hello Andreas,
Yes you need the Mesa development files and yes there is a conflict
between FireGL and Mesa.
I use Debian so the package names will not be exactly the same, but
for me the GL/gl.h and GL/glu.h files are provided by the packages
xlibmesa-gl-dev and xlibmesa-glu-dev respectively. I also use an
ATI card with the ATI proprietary drivers and I need to force the
installation of that to overwrite the /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 file
contained in the xlibmesa-gl (not xlibmesa-gl-dev) package. I don't use
Xorg, yet, but I'm sure that doesn not change any of the above.
For Fedora and xorg, the situtation is a little different. Mesa
development files are nowhere to be found in any Fedora repository.
Instead, there is a xorg-x11-devel (note the conspicuous absence of
anything mesa-like). I tried to install it. xorg-x11-devel requires
freetype-devel, which in turn requires fontconfig-devel. What would the
world be without rpm and DSL? Finally, everything installed. The
FireGL driver has no issues with all this. glxgears gives the same
numbers as before, and O10 runs smoothly.
Then I took another shot at pymol - and suffered another failure, though
much later in the process. png.h doesn't exist, which is, surprisingly
for me, not provided by libpng. Completely lost again, then flash of
very bright light (or was it the dawn of the new day?): libpng-devel!
And this indeed solved the last problem, and pymol is now installed!
Thanks Rob, thanks Warren!!
