Apparently you have an installation of Linux (either related to
Mandriva or to the video card drivers, if separate from the distribution)
that came with only a partial set of the OpenGL libraries.

Your choices are:

1) Compile without OpenGL support by disabling it in the "configure"
    script:

	configure --with-opengl=no

2) Obtain the GLU library.  I got mine with the video driver distribution
    from nvidia (downloaded from nvidia's website).  You might find it
    as an optional install package for Mandriva.

Since I wrote the OpenGL interface to Magic, and use it all the time, of
course I strongly recommend option (2).
