For RH7.0 in general:
The Mesa that comes with Red Hat 7.0 is not compatible with Performer 2.4.
You must get the latest Mesa from the http://www.mesa3d.org site.
But better yet to get the OpenGL package from SGI for this machine.
It probably includes GLUT and GLU and is probably much faster than Mesa.
