Hi Michelle:
What packages are installed
on your client nodes are dictated by the rpmlist in oscarsamples/ - those are
provided there as a reference, feel free to make your own copy and add/delete
packages from it.
The issue with glext.h is
probably because you are missing some OpenGL related -devel
packages.
To start Red Hat in graphical
mode, you'll need the xorg-x11 package, this is not installed on the client node
by default.
So what you'll need to do is
update the image by installing the additional packages, and then re-imaging the
nodes, and/or just directly installing the packages onto the nodes.
Please keep us posted on your
progress - if this works out well, perhaps we can compile your work into a
Chromium Package for OSCAR.
Thanks,
Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] experience installing visualization package Chromium on Oscar cluster?
I am installing Chromium viz cluster to drive a 2x2 tiled display wall on
my Oscar cluster. Four client nodes are connected to and used to drive four
24inch LCD dispalys. I had problem installing Chromium(error from glext.h) on my
client node, but fine on my headnode.
I also couldn't start the redhat in graphic mode at client node by setting id from 3 to 5 in /etc/inittab: id:5:initdefault . My client node would still go to text mode after reboot even after I installed the nvidia driver.
I also noticed that many OpenGL packages such as glut under /usr/include and /usr/lib ( it should be default files with Redhat distribution) are missing at my client nodes. Those OpenGL packages are all on my headnode.
I was just wondering if Oscar installation skips many packages for client installation as opposed to headnode installation.
If anybody has experience using Chromium on a Oscar cluster especially on x86_64 machines, I would like to get some help from you. I knew some people who run Chromium under ROCKS. However, I would prefer Oscar as my underlying system for Chromium.
Thanks,
Michelle
