Installing Glut 3.7

[MighMos]

I recently donwloaded somethign that said I needed Glut. I downloaded it and tried to install it but it said it still couldn't find it, and Im not too sure either if glut installed right. I have a 686processor and am running RedHat 8.0. I dont have too much experience with linux. My question is how do I install glut 3.7 from source? Thanks in advance.

I know how to install software from scratch, I've done it before, but for somereason GLut just wont work. Is there a special steps or something I need to do? And yes, I've read the documentation that came with it.

Posting command(s) used and the resulting errors will help us diagnose troubles.

OK. I really hate to say this, but I just did the same type-o three times (was tired). I feel stupid. I know.
