Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] runtime problem

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

I'm not a Unix/Linux guru, so I'm just grasping at straws here.  I'm 
guessing you're not on RedHat, but here's the list of things I needed to 
install there to get compilation and running to work.

glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm
glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm
   This was not available by default, needed to install it.
python2.2.2-2.2.2-1.src.rpm
python-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
python-devel-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
tkinter-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
   This was not available by default AFAICS.
tix-8.2.0b1-74.i386.rpm
   This was not available by default, is required by tkinter

Numeric-22.0.tar
   "setup.py build install"
swig-1.3.13.tar
   Just a standard install.

I'm guessing (wild guess) that you're base GLUT install is not properly 
setup (can you run a C/C++ GLUT program?) or that somehow PyOpenGL isn't 
finding/binding the right GLUT .so?  (Given that it's the libglut.so 
that's reporting the problem).  Could it be that there's a problem with 
the X-server version?  Doesn't seem likely to me, but I guess it could 
be a problem.

Would be very helpful (for other people, who may use that OS) to know 
which OS you're running.

Good luck,
Mike
