Do you have these?

/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.*
              /libGLU.*
              /libMesa*

I haven't run any OpenGL on my FreeBSD box, but I would expect some of
these to be involved. Actually I was surprised to see the Mesa entries as
soft-links to the GL libs - I used to have it the other way. Does that
mean SGI turned OpenGL loose?
