This bug appears to have been a result of the gtkglext linkage problems -- I saw it in my pbuildd chroot on i386 as well (where the glut build succeeded, but the configure stage on the gnome build failed as shown in the bug report). After the recent NMU of gtkglext I tried the build again and it completed successfully.
So this bug can probably be closed now. -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
