Description
The current instructions for the Freeglut package installs libraries in /usr/lib but the interface headers for these libraries are installed in /usr/X11R6/include.
This should probably be fixed as we currently pass --prefix=/usr to configure expecting things to be placed in the /usr/ hierarchy.

David is correct and the bug was bogus. Closing it.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

It actually installs the headers in /usr/include/GL, which is, in our case, a symlink to /usr/X11R6/include/GL. I'm not sure it needs fixed.
