   First of all, thanks for the advice.

   Well, interestingly it still didn't work after I edited
/etc/ld.so.conf
to include "/usr/local/lib" (after I erased the lib and includes from
/usr/lib ). When I tried to run the demo, it returned:
$ ./gears
./gears: error in loading shared libraries
libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

   Hmm, I don't know why...   The demos only run when I put all the lib
and includes in /usr/lib, but not /usr/local/lib.  Is there anything
else
I'm supposed to do after editing /etc/ld.so.conf??? (Well, I guess it's
ok
since it runs using /usr/lib)

   And compiling doesn't work either.  Here's the result:
$ gcc -o hello hello.c -lMesaGLU -lMesaGL -lXext -lXmu -lX11 -lm
-L/usr/lib
ld: cannot open -lXext: No such file or directory

$ gcc -L/usr/lib hello.c -lMesaGLU -lMesaGL -lXext -lXmu -lX11 -lm
ld: cannot open -lXext: No such file or directory
