>/  And if both glut and freeglut were installed,/

Libfreeglut3.rpm and libmesaglut3.rpm can't be installed side by side : 
they install the same link "glut.so.3" to glut.so.3.9.0 for the first or 
glut.so.3.7.0 for the second... fortunately libfreeglut3.rpm obsoletes 
libmesaglut3.rpm

Libfreeglut-devel depends on libfreeglut3 ... there may not be any 
conflict if libfreeglut3.rpm is choosen

libfreeglut-devel allows to build everything when it is substituted to 
libmesaglut-devel :

it adds in /usr/include/GL :

1) glut.h which gives a link to freeglut_std.h (which is compatible with 
GLUT headers and program written for GLUT)

2) freeglut.h which gives a link to freeglut_std.h _and_ to 
freeglut_ext.h (which adds access to more functions : scroll button, 
joystick etc..) and allows to build programs needing strictly freeglut 
(written for it)



In the spec files of programs needing GLUT now, freeglut-devel must be 
substituted to mesaglut-devel in BUILDREQUIRES if it is used ! (and 
libfreeglut3 to libmesglut3 in REQUIRES ...)
