#8 VELVET DOES NOT RUN AT ALL

[Dr. Laurence L. Leff]

When I type "velvet" or type "velvet filename" I get the
error message

Major opcode of failed request: 12
(X_ConfigureWindow)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 5607
Current serial number in output stream: 5768

filename is the name of a felt input file that ran
successfully through
felt.

When I compiled the system complained about the
#include <GL/xmesa.h> in the opengl.c program
I replaced it with
#include <GL/osmesa.h> and it compiled OK.

I am running GNU/Linux 2.6.12

This is a known problem with Velvet. A workaround is to
change the Makefile in src/Velvet. Instead of linking to
Xaw3d, link to Xaw. Here is a cvs diff on my Makefile
(compared to the CVS repository):
