Looks like library order to me (I don't know OpenGL, so I wouldn't be able
to provide the exact gcc command that will work). Try using "nm" on the
three GL libraries, and find out which defines the missing symbols. Put
that one last. Repeat until linked successfully... :-)
At this point I probably should let the OpenGL maintainer take over,
anyway. Good luck.
