k beta available for linux32
http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j601kbeta_linux32.tar.gz

This version contains the latest changes and bug fixes as discussed in the
beta forum.

This is the first linux32 beta with the new cd based opengl support. The calls depend on the OpenGL API provided by Mesa. Three libraries are required. libGL.so libGLU.so and libOSMesa.so.

If the OpenGL demos or lab fails the 1st thing to check is these libraries. They are probably located in the /usr/lib directory.

If you have problems please report back the following results:
....> ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*
....> ls -l /usr/lib/libGLU.*
....> ls -l /usr/lib/libOSMesa.*

The most likely problem area is with OSMesa. There are many flavours of this library and we require a fairly recent version in order to support the pixel memory buffer.

Our linux development system has:
....> ls -l /usr/lib/libOSMesa.*
...libOSMesa.so        ->    libOSMesa.so.6
...libOSMesa.so.6        ->    libOSMesa.so.6.4.060401
...libOSMesa.so.4.060401

The Mesa that came with Suse 9.1 was too old and we had to download and build the latest version.
