Hi,

Can anyone help me with running netgen-5.3.1 on ubuntu 16.04 ?

The error output message:

:/opt/netgen/bin$ ./netgen
NETGEN-5.3.1
Developed by Joachim Schoeberl at
2010-xxxx Vienna University of Technology
2006-2010 RWTH Aachen University
1996-2006 Johannes Kepler University Linz
optfile ./ng.opt does not exist - using default values
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  154 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  558
  Current serial number in output stream:  559

I thought the it was a similar error from before, that I solved a week ago on a different ubuntu computer @ https://sourceforge.net/p/netgen-mesher/discussion/905307/thread/946ccfc2/

and @ https://askubuntu.com/questions/1046577/make-error-while-installing-netgen-5-3-1-on-ubuntu-16-04

where:
edit file /opt/netgen/bin/drawing.tcl line 14:

if {[catch {togl .ndraw -width 400 -height 300 -rgba true -double true -depth true -privatecmap false -stereo false -indirect true }] } { ....

change "-indirect true" to "-indirect false"

But it must be a different error now. As when I change to "-indirect false" it still gives the same error message as above.
