Screen to 3D World Coords (again)

I can't seem to figure out how to convert from screen coordinates to 3D world coordinates. I'm working in JOGL and this is my code currently. It simply does not work. I would really appreciate if someone could help.
You are missing a step. GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT does not mean the depth itself, but is a flag for glReadPixels to obtain the depth, which can be different at every pixel.
You should be able to get the depth as follows:
Then you pass depth[0] as the z-component to gluUnProject.
You should be able to get the depth as follows:
float[] depth = new float[1];gl.glReadPixels(screenX, screenY, 1, 1, gl.GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, depth);Then you pass depth[0] as the z-component to gluUnProject.
