Hi Shelton,
It doesn't seem to come easy in your case ;-)
Anyway : just tell flightgear wehere to FIND the openal library if it
isn't in the standard libpaths and everything will automagically work :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/whatever/openal/
<start flightgear>
You may always check with ldd if the library can be found after doing
this. Example :
BEFORE setting the library path :
prompt % ldd /local/Games/FlightGear/FlightGear-0.9.8/bin/fgfs
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f72000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f5f000)
libglut.so.3 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so.3 (0xb7f29000)
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xb7eb0000)
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7e31000)
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0xb7e1b000)

libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0xb7dc1000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xb7da9000)
libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xb7da1000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7d93000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7cc9000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7cc5000)
libopenal.so.0 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7ca1000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7be9000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7be0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7ac4000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f9e000)

libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0xb7358000)
And AFTER doing so :
prompt % export

prompt % ldd /local/Games/FlightGear/FlightGear-0.9.8/bin/fgfs
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)

libGLU.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xb7e55000)
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7dd6000)

libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7c6e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7c6a000)
libopenal.so.0
=> /local/Games/FlightGear/FlightGear-0.9.8/lib/libopenal.so.0
(0xb7bdf000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7bbc000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7b04000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7afb000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb79df000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f43000)

libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0xb7273000)

PS : isn't it a good idea to ask permission to integrate openal into
flightgear and store the lib in the distro tree (as in the example
above) ? It may save a lot of novices a LOT of time :-)
