I don't get those errors, and my config.log has

#define HAVE_OPENGL_GL_H 1
#define HAVE_OPENGL_GLU_H 1
#define HAVE_OPENGL 1

The configure options used (from config.log) are below

./configure --prefix=/sw FLIBS=/sw/lib/gcc4.3/lib/libgfortran.dylib  
F77=/sw/bin/gfortran --infodir=${prefix}/s      hare/info --mandir=$

Although I don't get errors, the new backend isn't functional for me  
either.
