    Newton,

    I had the same problem. I beleive that the incompatibility is with the
    version of Mesa that is delivered with redhat 7.1. Here is my solution.

    1) Uninstall Mesa from machine (need to use -nodeps to be able to remove
    it without upgrading to a newer RPM)
            rpm -e --nodeps Mesa Mesa-devel Mesa-demos
    2) Download Mesa-3.5 from www.mesa3d.org
    3) Compile Mesa
            a) Fix compilation problem
            cd xxxx/Mesa-3.5/si-glu/include; ln -s xxxx/Mesa-3.5/include/GL .
            cd xxxx/Mesa-3.5/src/GGI/include; ln -s xxxx/Mesa-3.5/include/GL .
            cd xxxx/Mesa-3.5/widgets-mesa/GGI/include; ln -s
    xxxx/Mesa-3.5/include/GL .
            b) ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x
            c) make ; make install
    4) Relink executable to the new libraries
    5) IT WORKS!! (Hopefully)
