There are some lablGL users on this mailing list, but not all
developpers.
So this may be a good place to ask about how to use it, but not so much
about how to solve installation problems.

I'm a bit surprised: lablGlut does not require a very new version of
glut.
You should give more information, like all the library versions, and
the error messages.
You should also send your mail to Isaac Trotts, since he is the author
and maintainer of lablGlut. You can find his mail address in
LablGlut/README.

By the way, glut is not a requirement for lablGL: you can use it with
any of Tcl/Tk, glut or gtk.
