Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Solaris install problems

[<il...@ya...>]

Good work.

When you verify these fixes I'll add them into cvs for
the next release.  Could you list all the changes you
had to make?

Or, if you're interested, maybe Mike Fletcher could
give you write access to cvs so that you could add
your changes directly instead of going through me.



Have fun.
