3D programming

[alexgeek]

I'm on Fedora 8 and I wanted to do some 3D programming but I've read that I need XFree86 which doesn't seem to be available for Fedora..
So is there a an equivalent?
Just need something to get me started thanks

You have xorg, which is the newer version of xfree86.
What you'll need for 3D programming using the OpenGL API are the following packages:
mesa-libGL
mesa-libGL-devel
mesa-libGLU
mesa-libGLU-devel
mesa-libOSMesa
mesa-libOSMesa-devel
freeglut
freeglut-devel

You can install all of those using yum, if they aren't already installed. You can check if they are installed, like this:
rpm -qa | egrep -i '(mesa|glut)'
