Paul,
You don't indicate which version of Fedora/RH you are on, but you need
to install the libGLU headers, which for F9 are in:
mesa-libGLU-devel-7.1-0.29.fc9.i386.rpm
So, as root, you'll likely need:
yum install mesa-libGLU-devel
Once that is installed, you should be good to go unless you are also
missing other dependencies as well.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
