I updated my cvs today, and am now running suse9 with FTGL working! (yay!) The issue with the libGL.la was due to the nvidia driver (bug).

So Have gemcvs configured and the compile fails at:

c++ -c -g -g -O2 -D__NEW__ -fPIC -mmmx -I../ -I/usr/include/avifile-0.7 -I/usr/include/libmpeg3/ -I/usr/i nclude/freetype2/ -I/usr/local/include/ -fno-builtin -O3 -funroll-loops -ffast-math sgiimage.cpp -o sgii mage.o TextBase.cpp: In constructor `TextBase::TextBase(int, t_atom*)': TextBase.cpp:132: error: no matching function for call to `FTFace::FTFace()' /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:20: error: candidates are: FTFace::FTFace(const FTFace&) /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:35: error: FTFace::FTFace(const unsigned char*, unsigned int) /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:27: error: FTFace::FTFace(const char*) TextBase.cpp: In member function `virtual void TextBase::fontNameMess(const char*)': TextBase.cpp:168: error: no matching function for call to `FTFace::FTFace()' /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:20: error: candidates are: FTFace::FTFace(const FTFace&) /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:35: error: FTFace::FTFace(const unsigned char*, unsigned int) /usr/local/include/FTFace.h:27: error: FTFace::FTFace(const char*) TextBase.cpp:170: error: `open' undeclared (first use this function) TextBase.cpp:170: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [TextBase.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bbogart/gem/gemcvs/src/Base' make: *** [subdirs] Error 255

Any suggestions?
