I want to start programming C++ again but I can't find any good libraries. I'd love if it had support for 3d programming or at least decent graphical tools to create a 3d environment. I have prevoiusly used Allegro, wich is wonderful for beginners, but I don't consider myself a beginner any more...
Does anybody know any good one? Would you perhaps also know how to use it with Eclipse C++??

For what kind of graphics?

SDL, OpenGL

GTK, QT, wxWidgets

See my wiki for more (they are in the Programming Library)

Clutter (http://clutter-project.org/) maybe?!

Games primarily... I was thinking of starting my own game project and see if it develops well enough to become a global open project for linux. There are too few "run around, swing the sword, use the magic and shoot the bow"-games for linux :p
I'm not that good yet but I hope to learn a bit during the process.

You really should have searched the forum:

Or at least pay attention when I post a link to a library. SFML just rocks!

Give Ogre (http://www.ogre3d.org/) a try. It is a nice c++ graphics rendering engine.

It's not like I didn't search the forums. I searched for graphical engine/library and C++ graphics and none of them gave your thread which is no surprise since none of the key words were in your post.
I think I'll go with OGRE, Irrlicht and Clutter first and see if I like any of them.

Whoa! I completely love Irrlicht! Thanks hessiess . It may be german for missgiuding light but seriously, It's wonderful up untli this moment. It also seam to have the best documentation for linux. The other libraries seam ok, but until i bumb into a digital wall or run over a digital edge of the world, I'll stick with Missguiding light.
