The osgviewerSDL and osgviewerGLUT example will be compiled is you enable compilation of the examples and you have SDL or GLUT developer libraries installed. If you do go on to install them just remove the CMakeCache.txt and then run ./configure once more, then run ccmake . to enable the build of the examples. FYI, To edit the compile options all you need to do is run: ccmake . And it'll bring up a GUI within the console that you can browse and toggle the various options, use this in preference to trying to make sense of the CMakeCache.txt file. > No other OSG versions have ever been installed, unless I count this one > 2 days ago, before trying to recompile, from a clean directory, with > debug and examples enabled. If you do plan to use the debug version add a d to the end of the application name, so run osgviewerd etc. The d addition is simply a way of differentiating the different debug and release versions in a way that is consistent across all platforms. For you own investigation I don't think debug will help too much so just stick with the release build. The most likely route of the problems will be outwith the OSG, relating to the OpenGL driver and/or window manager. As a word of encouragement, I spend development almost exclusively under Linux - right now Kubuntu, but have used various flavours before this without problems, but I haven't used Slackware though. The last time we did a poll around 40% of the OSG user base also develop under Linux, I suspect this figure is even higher now. This all points the OSG having a great deal of exposure and testing under Linux, the vast majority of Linux are able just to compile, install and run without issues. Checking your original post, you are using a 2.4.x kernel, which is pretty old now as in the gcc version. Perhaps there are issues with mixing the NVidia OpenGL driver with an old setup. Are chance you grab one of the latest Linux distributions, some of them are very slick, Linux has come a long way over the past few years.
