For SimGear-1.9.1 I used "./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64" and for FlightGear ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib64 --bindir=/usr/local/bin --with-threads --with-simgear=/usr/local --with-osg=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 --without-plib --datarootdir=/usr/local/share/FlightGear
Everything built smoothly, installed and runs without problems - FlightGear-data-1.9.0 is AOK, also Scenery-1.0.1. I generated OpenSceneGraph and SimGear RPM's using checkinstall. plib, freeglut and openal from openSUSE have worked with FlightGear for quite some time. openSUSE 11.2 Alpha0 factory latest and NVidia driver 185.13.
