I didn't install Mesa! I only installed parts of it, in other words glu and glut and
the additional header files,
these things are all missing in XFree4 or XFree4-DRI-CVS !
I only extracted the Mesa tar source file.
Made a :
$ ./configure
and compiled the sources with
$ make
The thing is didn't do, because i know it is not a good idea to do
is a:
$ make install
I only made
$ make install
in the src-glu, and src-glut directorys, so only those glu and glut files get
installed, but not the whole mesa.

Ok, thanks i will try.

Yes i know, that Mesa is included in XFree, i didn't install Mesa.
The only thing i needed was the libglu, libglut and glu/glut Header files to
be able to compile gears. Without them i can't compile gears.
And these librarys are NOT in DRI-CVS included, i wish they where.
I also can't use the libGLu, and libGlut and additional Header files, that
are ready for download at dri.sourceforge.net, because these files are for
the wrong version, thats mesa 3.3.
But the cvs-dri code i used has mesa 3.4, so those files don't work, and gears don't
work too.
It would be great if i could download actual binary files of these librarys, header
files and
gears itself at dri.sourceforge.net.
