Building Scilab 5.3.0-beta 4 on Fedora 13

[Dean S. Messing]

Dear Scilab wizards,

Acutally I'm trying to build yesterday's master branch,
scilab-master-1286272063/, on Fedora 13, but have so far failed to get
./configure to complete.

It fails with these lines:

   checking for glTexParameterf in -ljogl... no
   configure: WARNING: Could not link against -ljogl. Will try against -ljogl -lGL
   checking for glTexParameterf in -ljogl ... no
   configure: error: "libjogl: Library
   missing (Cannot find symbol glTexParameterf). Check if libjogl - C/Java (JNI)
   interface for JOGL - or libGL are installed and if the version is correct. Note
   that you might have to update etc/librarypath.xml to provide the actual path
   the the JNI libraries."

I have not been able to figure out how to fix this, or what the "JNI
libraries" are.  To get a few of the earlier dependencies to pass, I installed

  prerequirements-scilab-5.3.0-beta-4-x86_64-src.tar.gz

and moved thirdparty/ into scilab-master-1286272063/.  Not sure what to
do with the bin/ directory in the prerequirements package.

I did make sure all lib dependencies (as shown by ldd) are satisfied for
the libs in this "bin/" directory.  And I tried to point the appropriate
path in etc/librarypath.xml to this "bin/" directory, but nothing worked.

Are the libs in this "bin/" directories the so-called JNI libraries?

Anyway your help would be GREATLY appreciated in getting this to build
on Fedora 13.  Thanks.

Dean
