Using solaris2.7 on sun boxes that do not have OpenGL graphic cards is far superior to using MESA. Sun's software-GL is well written and worth the upgrade. The Java3D installation lacks a crucial hint though - it took me quite a while to figure out that the infamous 'cant find J3D in java.library.path' error message can only be made to disappear by adding the OpenGL library path /usr/openwin/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (one would think that that's in there already!) so setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $JDKHOME/jre/lib/sparc:/usr/openwin/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH does the job (JDKHOME is whatever directory you have java reside in, usually /usr/java). /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ . . | .
