It bitches about missing OpenGL libraries if you don't. therefore you 
are wrong.

While you are free to develop and promote a solution to the problem 
which meets your demanding aesthetic criteria you are demonstrably 
incorrect to say that it is "completely and utterly wrong" for the 
simple fact that my change eliminates all symptoms of the problem.

I readily admit that I did not know about the symlink solution. *shrug* 
no big deal.

If you update the CVS so that it actually works without forcing the user 
to make changes that you claim he isn't qualified to do I will be hapy 
to retract my proposed changes.

In the mean time, retract this stupid "I'll give you a free beer" thing, 
I take it as an insult!

I really had to work to figure out that adding $(X_LIBS) would fix the 
problem. I think I spent most of a day on it. ___FIFTY___ subsequent 
compiles have told me that my fix __WORKS__.

_REALLY_ angry.
