How to install freeglut...

It's not *that* hard...

Download freeglut

First, you need to download a freeglut release. Newer is generally better, but unless you know what you're doing, you should use a release marked "Stable." So download the newest Stable release that you can.

Untar and configure the packages

Copy the tarball you downloaded into a temporary directory. Untar it as follows:

tar -jvxf freeglut-2.X.X.tar.bz2

Change to the resulting directory:

cd freeglut-2.X.X

Now, configure the packages:

./configure

Build and install freeglut

Once that completes, it's time to build and install freeglut (Note that you will have to be the superuser to make install).

This is as simple as:

make all
make install

(Optional) Making symlinks to replace GLUT

Make a symlink from libfreeglut.so.0.2.0 to libglut.so.3, libglut.so.3.7 and libglut.so.3.7.0

ln -s /usr/lib/libfreeglut.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libglut.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib/libfreeglut.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libglut.so.3.7
ln -s /usr/lib/libfreeglut.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libglut.so.3.7.0
