I've just tried to easy_install OpenGL. It doesn't work, throwing this error: error: Unexpected HTML page found at http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pyopengl/OpenGL-3.0.0a4-py2.4.egg are there extra easy_install incantations I'm missing? -Sw. |

I installed to the laptop with just easy_install OpenGL I saw an error like the one you mention when I tried to do the download using -f with an https URL, but I'm pretty sure I updated the setup file to use an http URL (seems to be using it in your case). You can try this instead: easy_install -f http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyopengl/OpenGL-3.0.0a4-py2.4.egg?download OpenGL which should IIUC parse the HTML page to find the link and download it. But easy_install is definitely supposed to be SourceForge download-system aware. I need to get to work, but I'll try to get some time to look at it this evening. Have fun, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C. Fletcher Designer, VR Plumber, Coder http://www.vrplumber.com http://blog.vrplumber.com |

I had to pass a direct URL to the source zip file (from a sf.net download mirror) to the -f argument. So, it seems that the problem is with distutils, not OpenGL! I ran all my tests (for QGL), and everything worked, except for the lighting demos. This could be errors in my code however, as I (and others) have had problems with lighting working correctly on ATI cards. -Sw. |

Incidentally, I could never get lighting to work myself.....not the demos, sample code, my own hackings, nothing....but I was on an Nvidia card (GeForce 2). Now I have an ATI and can't get hardware acceleration/OpenGL working AT ALL in Slackware 9.1 Linux (in addition to a whole bunch of annoying bugs/ anomalies in Win98SE). Currently in the market for a nice Nvidia 6600 AGP card. :P (This 9250 is the only ATI card I've ever tried, and rest assured, it is the *last* ATI card I will ever try.) -Matt Bailey |
