[PyOpenGL-Users] shaders over X windows

[Philip W. <pwi...@gm...>]

I have a PyOpenGL app which runs well locally on Linux.  But if I run it
remotely with X windows I get an error:

  File
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.1a4-py2.6.egg/OpenGL/platform/baseplatform.py",
line 335, in __call__
    self.__name__, self.__name__,
<class 'OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError'>: Attempt to call an undefined
function glCreateProgramObjectARB, check for bool(glCreateProgramObjectARB)
before calling

I changed glCreateProgramObjectARB() to glCreateProgram() but I get a
similar error.

Should this work over X Windows? I haven't used X Windows in years, and
never with OpenGL apps. Does it require maybe a special X server or
configuration?  I've tried just X servers on recent Linux and MacOS
machines, and gotten the same error. Thanks.
