Thanks for that Bill
I got the latest (*.64) base library and de-installed the freeglut stuff.
>locate libOSMesa is reporting
/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so
/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6
/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6.5.3
So that seems fine.
It is still not working though.
The "opengl simple" demos open blank black windows, at best with random dot
patterns (the 3d fonts demo)
The "opengl" demo puts up a "wdhandler" dialog box saying:
domain error: gluLookAt
gluLookAt GS_VIEWXYZ, GS_VIEWLINE, GS_VIEWUP
The OpenGL introduction lab prints "openGL OK" after the testdlls'' verb.
Subsequently, however, it does not open the forms correctly, and again
chucks a "wdhandler" dialog box, with no info in it,.. occasionally it
crashes J altogether.
So currently I am assuming that there is something wrong with my mesa
version, unless anyone else knows better.
I would like to avoid building the latest mesa from scratch, for various
reasons (mainly fear of destabilising my system) but that may be my only
option. Funnily enough though, everything else 3d on my system seems to
work fine, including the various demos like glxgears, the GL screensavers
etc.
I realise that this is probably no longer a "J" problem, but any words of
advice will be gratefully received before I start ripping the guts out of
the thing!
