compiling celestia 1.2.5 and NVIDIA

[Guest]

I am trying to compile celestia 1.2.5 here on Debian Woody with the latest Nvidia glx package. "configure " tells me checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking for glNewList in -lGL... no
checking for glNewList in -lMesaGL... no
configure: error: GL library was not found.

grep glNewList /usr/X11R6/include/GL/gl.h :

GLAPI void GLAPIENTRY glNewList( GLuint list, GLenum mode );

config.log:
---snip---
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char glNewList ();
#ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN
# ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
# endif
int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; }
#endif
int
main ()
{
glNewList ();
;
return 0;
}
configure:28875: result: no
configure:28885: error: GL library was not found
---snap---

Isnt it possible to compile with the NVidia- packages?
What can I do?

Greetings, Uwe

Yes, Celestia does compile with NVidia GL lib, you need to tell us what options you use with ./configure, and also the compiler or linker error in the config.log file (just above the bit you copied).
