+
+The Mesa's rpm that we used is the 3.3-5 version and it use the version 7
+of GL/glext.h. We didn't test it with any other version of mesa yet, but you
+could try to download the lastest version of GL/glext.h at
+http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/glext.h and recompile NeL.
+
+An other solution is to remove the GL_GLEXT_VERSION checking in the 
+configure.in file and in the src/3d/driver/opengl/driver_opengl_extension.h
+file and try to recompile NeL ...
+
+I hope that could help you to fixed your problem ...
+
+
+Cedric.
