Error compiling sample

Hi, I'm trying to get the HDK working on my desktop and I'm running into an issue when compiling one of the samples:

blair@blair-desktop:~/dev/houdini11.0/samples/SOP$ hcustom -s SOP_Star.C
Making SOP_Star.o from SOP_Star.C
Making ./SOP_Star from SOP_Star.o
g++ SOP_Star.o -lpthread -o ./SOP_Star -L /opt/houdini/dsolib -lHoudiniUI -lHoudiniOPZ -lHoudiniOP3 -lHoudiniOP2 -lHoudiniOP1 -lHoudiniSIM -lHoudiniGEO -lHoudiniPRM -lHoudiniUT -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXext -lXi -ldl -Wl,-rpath,/opt/houdini/dsolib
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Link failed

X11R6 doesn't exist anymore due to compatibility issues with the current X11 version (see Link). I installed libx11-dev to get the libraries but I can't get them to work either. This seems like a common problem, considering X11R6 hasn't been used since 9.1. And I'm sure I downloaded Houdini for the correct OS (selection for Ubuntu 9.1|10.04 @ sidefx). I'm guessing I'm doing something horribly wrong since I haven't been able to find any other posts related to this issue.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (gcc4.4) 64-bit

HOUDINI BUILD: 11.0.504 (gcc4.4)

Fixed it. I was missing some libraries, which I got from the following packages:

libglu1-mesa-dev

libxext-dev

libxi-dev

I'm not sure if these are included in the vanilla install of earlier distributions, so I figured I'd post them in case anyone runs into this problem.

For a custom SOP plugin, you shouldn't use the -s option.

yeah I didn't notice that was only for standalones. I'm aware of it now. Thanks.
