I really appreciate the prompt help.
I figured out the problem and it was concerned with my RHEL installation
which was rhel-5-client-i386. Well, the client doesn't come with the
freeglut-devel package. I installed rhel-5-server-i386 and it had both
freeglut and freeglut-devel packages.
Things are working for me now.
Thanks again for all the help.
cheers,
Arun
