Graphics / Ubuntu Packages

I just got the example working after some struggling. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.
I installed (in synaptic):
libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libopenal-dev
I think that was all I needed to add. For those who don't know, if you need to find what files a package adds, just look for the package in Synaptic, right-click, go to Properties, and click on the Installed Files tab. You can see exactly where it puts everything (including the glu.h and glu32.a in this case) -- nice, eh?
Then, for the compiler in your IDE (or if you do it manually) you need to add /usr/include/GL. You would add "-l/usr/lib/GL" to your g++ compile options if you're doing it from the command line.
For the linker, you need to link with /usr/lib/libGLU.a and /usr/lib/libGLU.so. To do this add "-L/usr/lib -lGLU" to your linking options, or if your IDE supports it, just select the above mentioned files wherever it asks you for what libraries to use.
I hope this helps!
