Please don't top-post.  
I've reformatted the message for readability.

It will solve the problem in this case, but in general the GL
libraries shouldn't depend on compat5x.  There are several ports to
get GL libraries from, but libglut, I'm pretty sure, doesn't require
the compat libraries.

A common way for this kind of problem to occur is for someone to
forget to recompile all of their ports when they upgrade from 5.x to
6.x.  Of course, it's also possible to get it by installing incorrect
versions of packages.
