I recently acquired a new machine and found that my previous
coot executables will not run on it, and neither will the
stable or "nightlies" built for Fedora/RHEL or Ubuntu.
No problem, I thought, I'll just rebuild it from current source.
That worked, but the graphics display speed of the resulting
executable is very slow. I have not noticed rendering speed
issues with any other programs I am running.
The recent mention here of buggy Mesa versions makes me wonder
if that is what I'm suffering from.
I can't find any likely pointers on the web.
Does anyone have more detail?
Is there a work-around?
Since I'm building from source I am perfectly happy to try
patching the Coot end of things if that would help.
