Compilation error with freeglut

[A K Arun]

Thanks George.
RHEL 5 has freeglut-2.4.0-7.1.el5.i386.rpm coming with it and no development
package. I tried to install freeglut-devel-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm (I couldn't find
a development package with a higher version i.e. something compatible with
freeglut-2.4) but I get a message that it depends on freeglut-2.2.0. So I
removed freeglut-2.4 from my laptop and  tried to
install freeglut-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm. Now it says that it needs
libGl.so.1(LIBGL).

I don't know what to do ? Did I break something by removing freeglut-2.4 ?

I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Arun
