RE: linking problem with glut

["Suhaib Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

If you are refering to
libglut.a from OpenGL SI from contrib directory.
I Have the same on my workstation here, and they are there

ibglut.a:glut_hel12.o:00001d9c R glutBitmapHelvetica12
libglut.a:glut_cursor.o:00000114 T glutSetCursor
libglut.a:glut_modifier.o:00000000 T glutGetModifiers
libglut.a:glut_bwidth.o:00000000 T glutBitmapWidth

Are you sure you are not getting glut headers from another
directory mixed up?  It might give you undefined references,
as I mentioned in my previous message.
