I wonder if gluErrorString was added in GLU 1.2, and you're linking
against a version of GLU which doesn't support it.  That would be
annoying, but wouldn't surprise me too much. 

Check with the version of Mesa or OpenGL that you're using, and let me
know, so that I can add an #ifdef in the _glumodule.c source.  [We'll also
need to make sure that the demos don't require it].
