How did you build?  I was able to build the libglut.so.3.7 using the 
following steps:

- bzcat glut-3.7.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
- cd glut-3.7
- less README
- less linux/README
- chmod +w Glut.cf
- cp linux/Glut.cf .
- ./mkmkfiles.imake
- cp linux/Makefile lib/glut
- cd lib/glut
- make

I'll note that the in my first attempt I skipped copying linux/Makefile, 
and when I built I got a .a file instead of a .so file.
