Strange, are you using nvidia drivers?
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-09-30 16:03:27 UTC
cant you post your config.log file ? 
sometimes when a library is reported missing, its really another problem and 
configure mis-reports it

Consider this issue resolved :)

This problem was caused by my opengl settings being screwed up. I am using an
NVIdia GF4 and some how it lost the opengl-update settings. This could have been
caused by a kernel recompile where I reistalled the kernel and the nvidia
driver, but forgot to run opengl-update. Only worked this out when i tried to
install the ut2003-demo and recieved an error message something like NO OPENGL
FOUND!!

Sorry for the Inconvenience.

It is interesting to note that if you see this error again you know the silly
person has not configured their opengl settings correctly.

PS - For some reason I didn't get emailed your comments about this bug that is
why it took me a while to get back to you.
