    Does your program compile with previous versions of gcc? This looks
like a compiler bug - the offending line appears to be the first place
the 'GLUnurbs' typedef is used after its definition - although without
more data I'm kinda guessing as to what your compiler is seeing.

    The trivial test program

	#include <GL/glu.h>
	int main() { return 1;}

    compiles without errors on Mandrake 8.2 running either gcc or g++
2.96, with the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.mdk82up and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960
RPMs installed. Give it a try on your system and see what happens.
