Hey all,
I've now got time to revisit this issue.
#1. I've changed to the (binary blob from nvidia) that is included in the non-free repos because I'm tired of the stupid manual installation that needs to be done every time I update a machine. I must have run that *$#%*#$ installer 100 times and wasted hours of my life. So I switched to the one in the repo that will just work with debian out of the box. Only issue is its a slightly older version (87xx) rather than (97xx) but I was using gem user the 87xx series for ages without issues.
I have not had any issues with those older drivers, and in fact before I gave up the annoyance of the nvidia installer I was using the very same driver version, just through the manual installer.
so to clarify I *AM* using the nvidia binary driver, just the ones made debian friendly in their repos:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/nvidia-glx-dev
which provides all this stuff:

I confirmed that the GL headers I'm compiling against are provided by nvidia, not mesa:
glext.h:
#ifndef __glext_h_ #define __glext_h_
#ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif
/******************************************************************************
Copyright NVIDIA Corporation 2005 ...
and glext.h does include glUniform2i:
GLAPI void APIENTRY glUniform2i (GLint, GLint, GLint);
I'm sure I'm compiling against those headers, because they are located in /usr/include/GL and the mesa headers have been renamed.
I can see that glext.h provides the declaration for glUniform2i, but what library is supposed to contain that symbol? nm says all the nvidia provided libs "contain no symbols"
too add insult to injury I have GEM working on an almost identical machine at school with the same version of the nvidia driver from the debian repo. If I try and load the binary built on that machine here I get glUniform4iARB is unresolved. (which is defined in the same glext.h header (the same one on both machines also)
So it seams the binaries are not inline with the headers, so I have to figure out what is different about the two machines. (in terms of GL binary libs) after another hour of digging I can't tell what is the difference between the two machines, my machine has /usr/lib/libGL.a (which is supposedly provided by a debian package that I don't have installed) but renaming it made no difference.
I've attached my ./configure from both machines, which are pretty well identical. And here are the GL packages installed on both:

both machines are up to date etch's as of today...
I don't get it...

Hey all, I changed from nvidia's binary driver to the one in the etch repo (8776).Why? Only the Nvidia binary actually uses the GPU for rendering.
Gem compiles (anon cvs update from today), but PD wont load it: /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: glUniform2iThis was covered in the two previous postings to this list. You need non busted drivers with OpenGL 2.0 support. The NV binaries certainly work.
