[Nottingham] OpenGL

[Robert Hart]

The fact that some software is installed doesn't always mean that the
related development files are installed. I don't know much about
mandrake, but I imagine the software would be looking for files in
somewhere like /usr/include/GL/ ?

Do you have relevant -dev packages installed?
