(since my last message was hold for approval, I resend it without the 
attachment)

On Ubuntu 10.04 I have all following packages installed:

libgl1-mesa-swx11
libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev
libglu1-mesa
libglu1-mesa-dev

I have also tried replacing:

libgl1-mesa-swx11
libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev

with:

libgl1-mesa
libgl1-mesa-dev

but with the same problem on configure. Anyway the configure script
finds the GL header files. The only negative check during the configure
which is related to OpenGL is the one with the option "-framework".
Maybe someone else can find other native graphic related problems in the
config.log that I have attached.

As you can see in the attached log file I call the configure script only
with the option --prefix=/opt 

Best regards,

Kostas
