Thanks for the advice, but I think my problem may come from somewhere else. I have re-installed XFree86 now, and I have installed glu-devel, and OpenGLContext-2.0.0b1-1.src.rpm, which apears to have little or nothing to do with my particular OpenGL needs. I think I can assume I have all of the OpenGL tools that I need, installed as part of FC4.
This makes me wonder if perhaps the compiler is looking in the wrong places for the headers and includes. I notice at the beginning of compilation there is this message:
HEAD: /usr/include /usr/local/include ../../../GemLibs/ LIBS: ../../../GemLibs/ /usr/local/lib /usr/local/src
... perhaps if I can figure out exactly which files Gem is looking for, and I place these files in one or more of the above directories, then I may be able to compile successfully. what might the filenames be, that Gem is looking for when it compiles?
I hate to admit failure, but I am starting to suspect that Gem is incompatible with FC4 at this moment. Perhaps a different linux distro might prove more useful than FC4 in this endeavor. Still, if there is anything else I can try short of installing Debian or Suse, I would very much appreciate any remaining advice.
Thanks, David K.

ähm. Gem is heavily based on openGL, so you need openGL(-devel) (and glu-devel) installed on your system. actually this is the only dependency of Gem that is an absolute must (well, apart from pd of course)
