RH 9.0 +glut link problem

All my open GL code that uses the glut library fails to link
under RH 9.0. It works fine under RH 8.0.

Lib glut can't find some basic X functions. Does anyone know
where there are found or what the correct library to link with
-lglut is?

g++ *.cpp -o x -lGL -lGLU -lglut
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so:
undefined reference to `XGetExtensionVersion'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so:
undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so:
undefined reference to `XSelectExtensionEvent'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

RH 9.0 knows a little about the missing functions. For example
'man XOpenDevice' works just fine.

The problem is not related to c++. I have the same problem
under c.

Please copy all responses to my gblair RemoveThis @sympatico.ca email address.

Try g++ *.cpp -o x -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lXi

Before you go blaming redhat for missing X function, do a quick
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
nm *.so *.a | grep "missingfunction"
and then link against the found library.
