this did it...YEE

I also installed mesa-GLU-devel ehich was missing...

ALMOST THERE! THANKS ALL...but I am still getting a load error in pd...

/home/cgraham/installs/Pd-0.39.3-extended /Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux: /home/cgraham/installs/Pd-0.39.3-extended/Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: glUniform2i
Gem: can't load library

so I read this....

KNOWN ISSUES
=============================================

-fPIC:
        on some architectures (namely x86_64) Gem MUST link against
        the PIC-versions of certain libraries (ffmpeg, ftgl);
        on other architectures i think it doesn't hurt to do so either
        (to be precise: it might hurt, since PIC-code is usually a bit slower)

        unfortunately Gem's configure uses "pkg-config" which
        does not provide a mechanism (yet?) for getting the
        PIC-versions of libraries if needed.
        however, you can always export PKG_<libname>_LIBS before
        running configure to override the detected values

        something like the following should do the trick:
        %>export PKG_FFMPEG_LIBS=`ffmpeg-config --plugin-libs avformat`
        %>export PKG_FTGL_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs ftgl | sed 's/-lftgl/-lftgl_pic/g'`
        %>./configure

so I am running an AMD64 should I be concerned with this issue?

hmm, gcc != gpp
c++ != cpp
...


"gcc" stands for the "gnu compiler collection" and the "gnu C compiler".
the former contains the latter (and probably a bunch of others, like a
c++ compiler); however, the former is usually not a single program but a
 collection of programs.


anyhow.
what i _did_ suggest was: google "edora g++"

the 1st hit i get is "Fedora: g++ install problem", the 2nd one is "g++
missing! - Linux Forums", the 3rd one is "Please help me to install g++
compiler on Fedora 6 - Linux Forums".

ALL of these results tell me one thing: you have to install the package
"gcc-g++" to get a c++ compiler.

that is:
# yum install gcc-c++

there might be a problem with "g++" being interpreted not literally but
as a (broken) regular expression. so yum does not find it.
this is either because yum is buggy, or your use of "yum search" is illegal.

PS: probably there are reasons why people stick to debian rather than
fedora :-)
