It's usually symptomatic of an incorrectly written application that tries
to initialise PLIB without a valid graphics window open.

However, if you see well-established programs doing this (The PLIB examples
for instance) then it's most likely to be a botched OpenGL install of
some kind.

Since RedHat Linux has been causing *ENDLESS* problems for me since version
7.0 was first released, I'm betting on a bad OpenGL install.

Have you managed to run any *non-PLIB* OpenGL programs?
