Thx, now it compiles automagically, but that's all. I've tried to
load MesaGL libraries, I've tried to compile root with them and
everything I got is entry in canvas/view menu (View OpenGL or sort of
that) When I try to view something I get:

root [8] Error in <TPad::x3d>: OpenGL shared libraries not loaded.

I see also that gGLKernel is not visible to root interpreter, there
are only visible TGLKernelABC and TGLViewerImp. Am I doing something
wrong or it is a problem f.i with color depth in my Xserver (16bit)
