Running freespace2

[Net Beast]

Hello all,

I am having some problems running freespace2.  I have compiled the CVS 
versions of OpenGL and OpenAL.  They work fine.  Then I complied the 
freespace2 code from icculus CVS.  When I try to run freespace2 I get the 
following errors:

I would really love to play the game.  What am I missing?  Thanks.
