Maybe this is wxGTK pkg-config's file bug (should it contain -lGL -lGLU?). I've failed to find any normal way to add linking into erlang's wx build-system, it's some kind of mess, so, handling this in wxGTK's pkg-config will be much easier, but I don't know about correctness of such way.

Wxwindows team, can you advise?
Looks like the problem is that when linking with --as-needed libGLU.so isn't kept around in the NEEDED section of libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so. erlang will have to explicitly link to it if it uses it.
Just adding -lGLU to the two LIBS lines in lib/wx/c_src/Makefile.in will do it.
This seems to be fixed in the 14.2 release which I just bumped to the tree. Andrian, if the problem still exists, please tell me here.
Erlang R14B ... 1> wx:new(). =ERROR REPORT==== 24-Nov-2010::00:33:32 === WX Failed loading "wxe_driver"@"/usr/lib64/erlang/lib/wx-0.98.7/priv/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" ** exception error: {load_driver,"undefined symbol: gluNewTess"} Still valid, ldd shows no linking with libGLU. Are you using -Wl,--as-needed?
For whatever reason I could not reproduce before...it is now fixed in 14.2-r1 and reported upstream.
It's worked, thanks. About reason: I don't know, while I was trying to fix this error by myself, I've got only one thing - their build system is a mess and absolutely anything could happen there. Thanks again.
