Hi Jarek,

if you use cmz to build ROOT the GL library will be automatically
build as soon as you define the shell variable $OPENGL. For example:

export OPENGL=~/Mesa

where ~/Mesa is the directory containing the Mesa include and lib
directories. So first build Mesa, set OPENGL and recompile ROOT.

Cheers, Fons.
