Subject: Problems Installing GtkGLext

Hi,

I'm having problems installing the Ruby bindings for GtkGlExt. I've
installed the latest version of GtkGlExt (v.1.0.6) which seems to have
installed the following libs:

/homes/alexg/lib/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.a
/homes/alexg/lib/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.la
/homes/alexg/lib/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.so
/homes/alexg/lib/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.so.0
/homes/alexg/lib/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.so.0.2.4
/homes/alexg/lib/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.a
/homes/alexg/lib/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.la
/homes/alexg/lib/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so
/homes/alexg/lib/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0
/homes/alexg/lib/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0.2.4

The GtkGlExt examples all run fine, so this seems to have installed
correctly. However, when I try to configure Ruby/GtkGlExt it says it
can't find gtkglext-1.0:

$ruby extconf.rb
checking for GCC... yes
checking for rb_define_alloc_func()... yes
checking for rb_block_proc()... yes
checking for new allocation framework... yes
checking for attribute assignment... yes
checking for gtkglext-1.0... no

The GtkGlExt libraries seem to call themselves libgtkglext-x11, is
this why extconf can't find them? If so should I rename the libraries,
or patch extconf?
