metisse configure: error: GL header found, but fail to found libGL

[Karol Krizka <kkrizka@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I have lately been trying to get metissa
(http://insitu.lri.fr/~chapuis/metisse/index.html) running on my
laptop, but it fails at configure with the following error:
configure: error: GL header found, but fail to found libGL (use LDFLAGS?)

But I have the gl development libraries installed and when I try to
look for it I get the following:
/usr/lib/libGL.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a

Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this?
