Compiling Octave 4 with OpenGL .. X11 configure script linking error

Question

I want compile Octave 4 with OpenGL/GUI support but don't know which packages to install on RHEL/CentOS system. I only get warning:

configure: WARNING: OpenGL libs (GL and GLU) not found -- disabling GUI
configure: WARNING: 
configure: WARNING: I didn't find the necessary libraries to compile native
configure: WARNING: graphics.  It isn't necessary to have native graphics,
configure: WARNING: but you will need to have gnuplot installed or you won't
configure: WARNING: be able to use any of Octave's plotting commands
configure: WARNING:

Any suggestions which OpenGL packages to install?

EDIT: config.log shows:

configure:24012: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -pthread -fopenmp   conftest.c -lGL  -lm   >&5
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: undefined reference to `xcb_wait_for_reply64'
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: undefined reference to `xcb_poll_for_reply64'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:24019: $? = 1

Look at the `configure.log` to see what libraries it is searching for. — Faheem Mitha, Nov 21 '15 at 14:41
I think it's better to ask a new question because it doesn't seem to concern OpenGL and it's a new issue — Ortomala Lokni, Nov 22 '15 at 08:20
@OrtomalaLokni He could just rename the question as necessary. — Faheem Mitha, Nov 22 '15 at 09:11
Post the whole `config.log`. If it's too large, you can paste it somewhere and add a link. But I think SE questions accept up to 30,000 chars. — Faheem Mitha, Nov 22 '15 at 09:14
Asking a new question with the same content was a bad idea. Now you have two identical questions, unless I'm missing something. — Faheem Mitha, Nov 22 '15 at 09:15

To obtain OpenGL support for your Octave-4.0.0 build you have to install the following packages

yum install mesa-libGL mesa-libGLU mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel

this doesn't seem to solve the warning problem in my machine...I still get the warning. – james Apr 27 '16 at 14:41

Problem was with libxcb library. My system had older libxcb library which doesn't support of xcb_wait_for_reply64 and xcb_poll_for_reply64 function calls. After libxcb upgrade problem has gone.
