Compiling Root_v5.24.00 (issue with ftgl)

ROOT
1

I compiled and installed root_v5.24.00 on one of my machines (RHEL3 and gcc-4.4.0) with no problems at all, but then on another slightly different one (older version of SUSE and gcc-4.4.0) I followed the same procedure and it didn’t work. Anyway, my error message, after quite a bit of compiling is:

In file included from include/FTGL.h:45,
from include/FTBitmapGlyph.h:9,
from graf3d/ftgl/src/FTBitmapGlyph.cxx:3:
/usr/include/GL/glu.h:259: error: ‘’ has incomplete type
/usr/include/GL/glu.h:259: error: invalid use of 'GLvoid’
make: *** [graf3d/ftgl/src/FTBitmapGlyph.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs…
rm core/utils/src/RStl_tmp.cxx core/utils/src/rootcint_tmp.cxx

Has anyone seen this before? I searched around quite a bit, but couldn’t find anything similar.

Line 45 in FTGL.h is:

            #include <GL/glu.h>

Is OpenGl properly installed on your machine ?

Thanks for the response. It must not be. I’ll look into it and see if it fixes the problem.
