This might help you … scroll a few lines down.

this user guide talk about windows … what about linux ?

The users guide also takes other operating systems into account, when the procedure differs. Basically download and expand the needed jars and native files to a directory of your choice (so don’t put them into any system drectory) and either adjust the CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly or start the java compiler and vm with the appropriate -cp/-classpath and -Djava.library.path commandline options:http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php/topic,1474.msg144319.html#msg144319

That installation guide has a specific section for Linux about 10% of the page down…here is the excerpt itself:

If you are developing a new application which uses JOGL, download the zip archive for your platform (for example., jogl-[version]-windows-i586.zip) and unzip it.

Modify your CLASSPATH environment variable to include the full paths to jogl.jar and gluegen-rt.jar; for example, “.;C:\Some\Other\Package\foo.jar;C:\Users\myhome\jogl-[version]-windows-i586\lib\jogl.jar;C:\Users\myhome\jogl-[version]-windows-i586\lib\gluegen-rt.jar”. (If you did not previously set the CLASSPATH environment variable, you may want to make sure that “.”, the current directory, is on your new CLASSPATH.)

Modify your PATH environment variable (Windows), LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (Solaris and Linux), or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (Mac OS X) to contain the full path to the “lib” directory; for example, on Windows, add “C:\Users\myhome\jogl-[version]-windows-i586\lib” to your PATH using the System control panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button. At this point your Java installation should be able to see the JOGL class files. Users of IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse should consult the IDE’s documentation to see how to add jar files and native libraries to their current project.

This is what I put in my Linux ~/.bashrc file so you may want to try it:

 JOGL=$HOME/<PATH_TO_INSTALL_FOLDER>/jogl-1.1.1-rc8-linux-x86_64-glibc_2.4/lib
 export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JOGL/jogl.jar:$JOGL/gluegen-rt.jar
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$JOGL

You’ll have to source the bashrc file when done or open a new xterm.
