On some Linux distributions (''Slackware'' for instance), compiling fails because a GL related library doesn't have a link in the <tt>/usr/lib</tt> directory. If the compile fails because it can't find <tt>-lGLU</tt>, here are two ways to fix it:

<b>Solution as Root</b>

If you have root access to the system, you can create a link to the library in question with just a little bit of command line magic. Go to a console and enter:

$ ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so /usr/lib/libGLU.so

After that, you can run make again and it should finish compiling.

<b>Solution as User</b>

You don't have root access? Never fear, we can still fix the problem. It'll just be a tad more difficult.

Navigate to the <tt>fs2_open/code</tt> directory and locate a file named <tt>Makefile</tt> (not Makefile.rm or Makefile.in or Makefile.anything). Open it in your favorite text editor and make the following changes.

Find this line (line 457 in mine):
FS2_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lGL -lGLU -lopenal \
-logg -lvorbis -lvorbisfile

And replace it with this:
FS2_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lGL -lopenal -logg \
-lvorbis -lvorbisfile -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGLU

Also find this one (line 565 in mine):
AM_LDFLAGS = -g -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lGL -lGLU -lopenal \
-logg -lvorbis -lvorbisfile

And replace it with this:
AM_LDFLAGS = -g -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lGL -lopenal -logg \
-lvorbis -lvorbisfile -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGLU

Then run <tt>make</tt> from the <tt>fs2_open</tt> directory, and watch the magic happen.
