Re: [gl4java-usergroup] gl4java on Linux with XFree86 4.x ?

[Andy L. <do...@ya...>]

The installer for GL4Java is not very reliable, 
(in my experience) it's much easier to install
the files by hand.  Grab files from here:

http://jausoft.com/Files/Java/1.1.X/GL4Java/binpkg/

You'll need:
libGL4Java2.8.2.0-Linux-glibc2-xf86-x86.tar.gz
gl4java2.8.2.0-jar.zip
gl4java2.8.2.0-glffonts-jar.zip
gl4java2.8.2.0-glutfonts-jar.zip
png-1.0a-jar.zip

Install the contents of libGL4Java... into
/usr/lib, and then make symbolic links of those
files in the jre/lib/i386 sub dir of your java
runtime directory.

Then unzip the zip files (should contain one jar
file each) and put those jar files either
somewhere in your CLASSPATH or in the jre/lib/ext
sub dir of your java directory.

That should get everything working.  To test it
out, you can run 

java gl4java.GLContext -info

to run a test of the OpenGL capabilities of your
box.

If you have any other questions, let me know or
ask the group again.

Good Luck,
Andy Lubbers
