Classic problem with freebsd: most libraries are installed in
/usr/local/lib, which is not in gcc's libpath.

I would expect no problem. LablGlut is not tied to any implementation.

As explained in gtkThread.mli:
(** The main loop to use with threads. [GMain.main] does not work!
    This changes [GMain.main] to call [threaded_main] rather than
    [GtkMain.Main.default_main], so subsequent calls will work.
    The first call sets the GUI thread, and subsequent calls
    to [main] will be automatically routed through [sync] *)
val main : unit -> unit

That is, you only need to call it once, to start your program, and
then inner calls will do the right thing.
