This may be your problem.  If libGL also has a glCreateShader , horde3D
may be getting the wrong one.  In particular, if libGL's glCreateShader
is a function (in the text section), horde3D will now probably treat
that function as a function pointer variable and dereference it
(probably trying to write the address of the glCreateShader function
into the glCreateShader variable.)
