this just means that configure cannot link against libGL (do you have /usr/lib/libGL.{a,so} ?)
I will check for that file when I get back to that computer. I am a little embarrassed to admit that I did not use the CVS version like you suggested earlier. I will definitely install from the CVS version for my next attempt. In the meantime I will search the pd-list archives for earlier problems with fedora.
The problem above, where Gem is looking for an openGL header where Fedora Core may keep none, is related to my suspicions. I do hope that the CVS version will fix my problem. But I shall not give up, in any case. ;-)
Thanks again for all your help. I will report back to you with my progress as soon as I can get back to my linux box.

but this reminds me on a bug that was found with Gem on FC (so you are right: there is an issue with compiling Gem on your platform)
it has been fixed long ago in the CVS so i didn't remember it instantenously : i guess you are using the gem-0.90-0.tgz sources ??
either use the CVS-version of Gem or search the gem-dev archives http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/gem-dev for "fedora" this should help you fix the problem.
