Ok so I'm told even if the script doesn't do anything other than launching the app it still doesn't work. In fact, "Simply executing 'vglrun tcsh' will not return a prompt, it simply stalls until ctrl-c'ed." Unless of course we use the tcsh that has that previously-mentioned RHEL patch removed.

Would it be possible for our developer to contact you off-list (or vice-versa)? It might make things easier if the middle-man (me) is removed from the discussion?

Again, I really appreciate the response. Based on your feedback it sounds like there might just be some problem with our particular environment that is preventing this from working.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

I can't seem to reproduce it.  If I create, for instance, ~/test.csh
with the following contents:

  #!/bin/tcsh
  /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxspheres64

I can do

  vglrun ~/test.csh

or

  vglrun tcsh ~/test.csh

with no issues.  I'm running 5.6 as well.

Are you trying to use VGLClient or an X proxy?

Greetings,

I have a developer who is trying to use VirtualGL 2.2 on RHEL 5.6 x86_64
to launch applications that are wrapped inside of tcsh scripts, but is
running into problems.  Doing something like "vglrun tcsh" or "vglrun
<tcsh_script>" just gives him a "blank screen" whereas "vglrun
<bash_script>" or "vglrun <other_application>" works fine.

After some digging, he found that he could get everything to work
correctly if he rebuilt RHEL's tcsh rpm without a patch that Red Hat
includes.  The patch description says that it "Change config_f.h to use
system malloc()".

Has anyone else ever experienced this issue with vglrun and tcsh under
RHEL5?  A google search (and search of the virtualgl mailing lists
archives) did not turn up anything.

FWIW I have also opened a bug with Red Hat, found here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706144

but I have a feeling they are going to be of the opinion that the
problem is with VirtualGL and not with their tcsh.

Any advise, comments, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Lee
