I'm utterly sorry for being so vague, but I think it might involve a
./configure option. You might want to try running ./configure --help.

You're looking for something like --glut-prefix or something of the
like, that would allow you to point the build process to where your
library resides, in this case /sw/lib, since you installed it via Fink.

I hope this helps, or at least puts you on track. :)
