Hi Iohannes

I have finally managed the time to install a few rpm packages, hoping to make it possible for GEM to compile on my Fedora Core 4 OS. So far, I have managed to go through my install disks to find and install these rpms:

ImageMagick-c++-devel-6.2.2.0-2.i386.rpm freeglut-2.2.0-16.i386.rpm freeglut-devel-2.2.0-16.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.9-2.i386.rpm freetype-demos-2.1.9-2.i386.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.9-2.i386.rpm gltt-devel-2.5.2-2.i386.rpm

I have confirmed that libjpeg and libtiff are installed on my system, as well. I think that this leaves only libftgl, which is a package that I have not managed to locate, or determine if it is installed on my system at all. Anyway, when I go to gem-0.90.0/src/Gnu and I type ./makeauxlibs, I get a quick confirmation that my auxlibs are built. When I type ./configure, I get the following messages, and then the configure fails.

Judging from the messages below, would there be any way to understand which libraries are missing that Gem might be looking for? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know that I am quickly running out of them, myself.

Thanks in advance.
