If you are a Gentoo linux user with and NVidia card and are having trouble compiling Celestia, try this:
opengl-update xfree
emerge celestia
opengl-update nvidia
and then run celestia. The "opengl-update" script allows you to switch between the xfree OpenGL implementation and NVidia's.

Most Linux distributions have such switching scripts included, but mostly they only 'rewire' the runtime libs. Wenn you compile, you also have to change the corresponding glx headers etc.
