Lib Glue Shared Object Problems

If you see something like this, when you go to build a plugin:

% skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libGLU.so when searching for -lGLU
 % /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU

You may be missing the library. Usually, you can check with something like this:

% yum list |grep yum list | grep GLU

If have confirmed your machine has the correct library, you may just be missing the symbolic link pointing to it. You will need root access (or sudo) to make the fix:

Example:

% ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so
