Hi Wayne,

   I installed jahshaka the other day on a redhat 9 box. While the
'./configure' went fine the 'make' bombed with something about the
'glut.so.o'(?). After a little searching around I found the answer,
answered from Jah himself. Here is what the work around is:

1. You will need to get both 'glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm and
glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm'. You will want to install these using the 'rpm
-ivh --force <filename>'

2. Then you will want to remove the newer glut that comes with RH9, 'rpm
-e glut-3.7-12'(i think that is the version).

3. After these have been removed, do step one again to freshen the packages.

4. then run ldconfig

After I had done that the './configure, make, make install' worked without
a problem and the app  was up and running.

I hope this will be helpful for you, reading that you are going to install
it I thought I would share my experience.
