Dear O & PyMOLers,
Have any of you experienced difficulty with stereo on RedHat 9??
With PyMOL, trying to switch to stereo view results in the "Error:
Selected stereo mode is not available.", and in O the error is this:
"GLUT: Fatal Error in lin_ono_9.0.0: visual with necessary capabilities
not found." I suspect the root of both problems is the same.
I checked the shared library dependencies of O (which seem okay from the
output of "ldd /path-to-o/lin_ono*"), and verified that the glut-3.7-13
package was installed (rpm -q glut-3.7-13), as well as the following
two Mesa-related packages:
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-2
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2
Stereo mode for both of these programs worked fine in a previous
installation in which I was running red hat 8. With the current systems,
I did a fresh install of rh9 (shrike) on two machines:
(1) a Dell XEON machine with an NVidia Quadro4 700 XGL graphics card,
using the NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-4363 (with a ViewSonic flatpanel
monitor -- so I don't expect to actually do true Quad-buffered stereo
displays or anything like that, mainly just testing)
(2) a PC with a ViewSonic P225f CRT monitor (this is the system I would
actually like to use for stereo), powered by an ATI Radeon 8500LE
graphics card.
If anyone has encountered similar difficulties or has any helpful hints,
I'd greatly appreciate hearin bout it!
