[freespace2] Hi.

Hi,

I'm running Mandrake 9.0. OpenAL wouldn't compile for some
reason from the CVS version,  but I have compiled several
other programs without problems (sometimes I had to install
a library from the Mandrake cd's). I still can't make any sense of
the error I get though. I haven't done anything unusual to my
distribution except I installed Nvidia drivers from source rpm's
which shouldn't be that unusual.
