OpenGL when you want to use the extra features. They won't compile

OpenGL seems to be missing. And I don't find it in the usual suspect

This is a known issue. You can find a workaround here:

Thanks Akemi. I did discover where the ghc_OpenGL files were. Here's the
story.
There is a missing kernel file and perhaps a problem in the kernel
source.
Trying to install the virtual box extensions I ran across a misleading
error message about OpenGL not compiling. The machine I tried it on
first
had OpenGL missing. I finally figured out it had never been configued
for
epel. Half the problem was solved. But I got the same error. I traced
back
to the build error:
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is
invalid."; \
echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or
include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel
src to fix it."; \
So to save time I went looking for the kernel source and attempted
make oldconfig and make prepare. The latter failed. I am either missing
something interesting or the kernel source is missing something
interesting.
[jdow@sl6 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64]$ sudo make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config

[jdow@sl6 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64]$ sudo make prepare

[jdow@sl6 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64]$
So there may be two bugs here.
First the kernel-devel includes do not have the autoconf file.
Second trying to make prepare fails. (So does trying a subsequent "make
clean".
Do you have the kernel-devel package installed at all? I'd try that
before doing manual kernel builds. I believe that
And btw ... don't compile things as root (unless explicitly told to by
documentation). That can completely mess up things, even though the
kernel is probably one of the more safer packages to build. Doing 'make
install', however, requires root privileges. But wait for root access
until this point.
Kernel-devel is installed as are all the other required items. Somehow I
got
one of the two virtual machines to work. The other is still
semi-unhappy. The
3D stuff won't compile, still.
The information Akemi posted is what guided me towards the solution.
Re actually compiling the kernel I'm a tad reluctant to do that. But going
through make prep is no problem. The process has changed a little since the
last time I compiled a kernel to make sure a driver I wanted was installed.
I even contributed the fixes to the kernel that made the driver work right,
since I was the one of the designers for the data the driver had to parse
in order to work right.
Well, then I'm surprised ...

Maybe a wrong include path?

OK:
[jdow@me2 ~]$ rpm -q kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64
[jdow@me2 ~]$ ls /usr/include/linux/auto*
/usr/include/linux/auto_fs4.h /usr/include/linux/auto_fs.h
It is in /usr/src/2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64... But that does not seem to
be on the build path. A link might fix it. Some DRM stuff needed linking,
too.
What can I say?
But, that's only a small problem. The build can, apparently, work around
that with dkms installed. So it's installed on both VMs. (They started out
as the same VM some time ago. One is on the laptop and the other on my main
machine.)
I have to sort out why the script fails to find the kernel development
material. That is probably an Oracle bug, at a guess. But then I need to
figure out what the difference between the two machines is simply because
I don't like unexplained fixes. Somehow I got one to work. I think I did
the same "stuff" to the other. But apparently not. It's puzzling.
I'm not sure why /usr/include/linux is not overridden with a link to the
kernel-devel include files. That seems like a logical thing to do. Otherwise
why have kernel-devel installed at all if it's not automatically placed
on search paths?
(If I get frustrated enough I'll simply copy over the one that works,
rename it (again) and live with it. It's only a test environment.)
