  Hi!
You need libGLU.so,
it is just a symbolic link to the same library as libGLU.so.1
my directory lists:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 14 2005 libGLU.so -> libGLU.so.1.3.502
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jan 17 2005 libGLU.so.1 -> 
libGLU.so.1.3.502

so in order to link it I would do:
ln -s libGLU.so.1.3.502 libGLU.so
you need root access for this, then you have to make sure your libraries 
can be found, so the libraries directory has to be in your PATH,

Dot is not a directory, it is a preprocessor for drawing directed graphs.
I do not know if dot is really needed, maybe someone else could answer 
this point. I have it on my system.

I believe you do not need to set the variables that you list below.
