Loading an extension in linux

How do I load an extension in linux? I've tried using glew but if I call glewInit(), nothing is drawn on the screen. The extension in question is ARB_multisample (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/multisample.txt)

You don't have to load anything at all...
Just check that it's defined, supported by the card/driver and off you go...

But don't I need to set the antialiasing mode before I create my window?

Well, if it's not in the core ( alot of things are ), then you can use glXGetProcAddress or you can use SDL's one which is SDL_GL_GetProcAddress to get the extension pointers.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Try gluX - cross platform easy OpenGL eXtension Loading
