Howdy all,

I'm trying to learn how to code using GLUT, and so I wrote a simple little program, and after hours of Googling, I still can't get it to run (although I can get it to compile just fine!) Here's the command I used to compile it:

g++ -o opengltest opengltest.cpp -L/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lXmu -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lstdc++

But when I try to run the executable I get the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I included the folder /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ specifically so the libGL could be linked properly, and I've even tried copying libGL.so.1 to the local directory, but still no go. Google isn't helping me right now (although I finally figured out that I had to add all the -l's!) Anyone know what to do?

Thanks,
Randy

P.S.  My short little program is included below:

//opengltest.cpp
#include <GL/glut.h>

void renderScene(void) {
   glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
       glVertex3f(-0.5,-0.5,0.0);
       glVertex3f(0.5,0.0,0.0);
       glVertex3f(0.0,0.5,0.0);
   glEnd();
   glFlush();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
   glutInit(&argc, argv);
   glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGBA);
   glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
   glutInitWindowSize(320,320);
   glutCreateWindow("3D Tech- GLUT Tutorial");
   glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);
   glutMainLoop();
   return 0;
}
