Right OK, a bit of an update:
I additionally installed the freeglut dev kit, and the first reported
proplem has gone away.
Now the dialog box with the 'Demos' opens, and what's more, most of the
demos seem to run OK.
However, there is still a problem with the OpenGL ones:
If I click on the 'opengl' demo, I get a dialog box as follows:
OpenGL create context failed. OpenGL not available.
If I 'OK' this, then a second dialog box appears: wdhandler
error in: demos_ok_button
OpenGL not supprted on j64: assert
'OpenGL not supprted on j64' assert 0
If I click on the 'opengl simple...' demo, then I only get the second
dialog box (wdhandler: OpenGL not supported on j64, etc)

Bill, typing "locate libOSMesa.so" at the shell doesn't return anything, so
I guess it's not installed after all.
What NEEDS to be installed? I am unclear on the differences between
freeglut and mesa, and on the reasons why both are needed.
