Hi All (especially Bill) Some of you may remember that a few days ago I wrote describing the problems I was having, trying to get OpenGL (both 701 and 602) to run on my Linux system. Well, I had the opportunity to try it on a number of systems, and on the basis of what I saw, I am now pretty sure it's a 64-bit problem.
All tests are with j701 gtk (yes, I'm converted now) Graphics mostly Nvidia GeForce cards, between 7*** and 8*** Efforts to get it running under Ubuntu 64 (10.10 and 12.04) on two 64-bit machines all failed. I got it running on a twin Xeon with Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit I also got it running (OK-ish) on a twin Atom with Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit (Samsung N150 - unspecified built-in graphics on this, but it works... with some glitches) Attempts to get it running on a 64-bit twin Opteron, running 32-bit Ubuntu (10.10) also failed!!! So I am pretty sure the snag lies in the hardware/driver as well as (perhaps) the software libs. Anyway, that's just FYI, I now have a machine that works for me (even if it's not my main box), so I can get on with it. Would be nice to see the Linux 64-bit problems sorted out at some stage too, though! By the way, IF anyone is running it successfully on a 64-bit Linux system (of any description) please do let me know your specs!
