Well, the good news is that Java3D now runs, as the OpenGL libraries
are now there.

The bad news is that I can't build OpenGL apps, as the header files in
/usr/include/GL (and possibly elsewhere) are still missing. Could someone
please follow up on this and get the header files installed too? 

                                      Thanks,

                                               Alex
