Soft made a similar suggestion to me, so I'm writing this.

    http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-9557

My issue is: when I go a standalone build on a Fedora 9 x86 box with
NVIDIA graphics driver installed, the build fails.  The particular
cause of failure is:

  llrender.cpp:115: error: 'glActiveTextureARB' was not declared in this scope

Quick analysis showed:

- Installing NVIDIA graphics driver replaces Fedora supplied GL/gl.h
  and GL/glext.h with NVIDIA's own.

- A declaration of the function glActiveTextureARB is included in
  NVIDIA's header files, but in a slightly different way, that makes
  the build to fail.

See my JIRA filings for more details.

Declaring the function glActiveTextureARB in an SL header file, e.g.,
llrender/llglheaders.h suppresses the error.  I'm not sure it is the
way to go.

For the moment, my workaround is not to go standalone build.

Any ideas?
