You don't have the OpenGL drawing area widgets, which is also required
to build g3d. Mesa includes the code for this, but doesn't build it by
default. (NB: this was the case for Mesa 3.0; I haven't looked at it
recently). XFree86 4.0.x also includes these widgets, but configure
won't detect the Motif version (due to GLwCreateMDrawingArea being a
macro).

Given that configure detected this, the suggestion to build g3d
shouldn't really have been made, IMHO (however, the suggestion to
build g3d was removed altogether shortly after the 09-04-01 snapshot,
which makes the issue somewhat irrelevant now).
