..yep, yep, yep. Now on 1.4.2, 0.0.17 and 0.7.8.

..how do I _make_ (as in force/hardcode/threathen)
FG to find its root ($FGROOT?) data directory?
I thought I could set this with a ./configure option?
Sez so in the docs.
Is this error related to the valid OpenGL context"?

.. see above. Tried both. Also tried messing with
preferences.xml to fly in my area, which worked when
X v4.0.3 spun down in flames.

..in FG and ssgInit context, what _is_ "a valid OpenGL context"?
I use:
rpm -qi Mesa
Name : Mesa Relocations: /usr
Version : 3.4.2 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 3 Build Date: Tue 10 Jul 2001
11:38:22 AM CEST
Install date: Sat 21 Jul 2001 01:27:07 PM CEST Build Host:
stripples.devel.redhat.com
Group : System Environment/Libraries Source RPM:
Mesa-3.4.2-3.src.rpm

Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla>
URL : http://www.mesa3d.org
Summary : A 3-D graphics library similar to OpenGL.
Description :
The Mesa 3-D graphics library is a powerful and generic toolset for
creating hardware assisted computer graphics. To the extent that Mesa
utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state machine, it is being used
with authorization from Silicon Graphics, Inc. However, the author
(Brian Paul) makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
replacement for OpenGL or associated with Silicon Graphics, Inc. Those
who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
vendor. However, Mesa is very similar to OpenGL, and you might find
Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL.

..told me he'd been succesful using Redhat's gcc v2.96-85,
which I threw out as part of the X upgrade. gcc v2.96-94.
I see nothing in the changelog that should cause failure of FG.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
