OGRE

here is what worked for me, (knoppix 4.0.2 debian installation, with 2.6.13 kernel)

# get Cg from http://developer.nvidia.com/cg, unpack to root "/" to install
cd /
tar xfz Cg-1.4.0-3_x86.tar.gz

# get zziplib source from http://zziplib.sourceforge.net
cd /usr/src
tar xfj zziplib-0.12.83.tar.bz2
cd zziplib-0.12.83
./configure
make && make check && make install

# get DevIL source from http://openil.sourceforge.net/
cd /usr/src
tar xfz DevIL-1.6.7.tar.gz
cd DevIL-1.6.7
./configure
make && make install

# get ogre source from http://ogre3d.org
cd ogrenew
aclocal
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
# add a line "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf
/sbin/ldconfig
cd Samples/Common/bin/
./SkyBox
