RE: error C3861:"gluErrorString"
I re-downloaded the older Qt version 4.7.3 from the link:
 
ftp://ftp.qt-project.org/qt/source/qt-ev...

and built it now successfully on Ubuntu virtual machine 64bit version 12.04 LTS using the following commands (I typed clearly here for future reference)

>tar zxvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz
>cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3
>./configure -nomake examples
>make -j4
>sudo make install


Then you need to add "qmake" path, i.e. /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3/bin into your bash PATH variable.

Then to build Vaa3D, it is so simple:

Just enter the Vaa3D source code folder, and type the command

>./build.linux -j4

Then you are done!

In summary, there is some problem (see previous msgs) in Qt 4.8 and higher with Ubuntu. So using Qt 4.7.3 is a good solution!

Just tested: the downloadable binary version for 64bit redhat/fedora at from http://vaa3d.org runs perfectly on my Vmware based Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit, even for 3D rendering (**without** the fast 3D OpenGL support of Mac). The new Ubuntu may new jpeg support by running "sudo apt-get install libjpeg62".

Thus a temporary solution for Ubuntu is to use Redhat/Fedora to build Vaa3D and then run on Ubuntu machines.

Again, it is strange why there is such a problem now. I built Vaa3D perfectly years ago on Ubuntu.

ha, I eventually have a Ubuntu machine now through VMWare and having the same problem at this moment for Ubuntu 12.04 64bit , Qt 4.8.4. I don't remember I had this issue before (as a long time ago I have two Ubuntu machines via VMware and did not see this kind of issue).

Need further test.
