FreeGLUT fix?

The fix for the missing FreeGLUT close function must be in an FAQ somewhere, but I can't find it. Can someone point me to a description of the fix?

I'd like to have a working 3d view in Slic3r.

Why not just download the latest compiled release?

It does not function correctly for me on Linux Mint 16 - 64 bit. All I get in the layout window are weird lines, regardless the source file. Also, most of my source files failed to load with various errors.

Compiling from source, it seems to function correctly with the correct preview. All of my source files show some errors but it still loads them and functions properly.

I've had terrible trouble getting Slic3r to work, over the year and a half I've been trying to work with it. I only run Linux (UBUNTU or Mint) on all of my machines so it could be an Ubuntu issue. When it works it's brilliant but it only a few select versions work for me. In fact, right now I can slice after two weeks of trying various versions and library combinations so I won't be upgrading it... perhaps ever. lol!

Could this be what you are looking for?

Yes, that is the issue I am facing. It is identical.

I found that thread, read it, and deleted my config files but that didn't fix it for me.
