Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Continued problems with PyOpenGL 2.0.1.04 on Mac OS X with (fink) Python 2.3

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

Togl is a binary extension to the Tk GUI, I can't really tell from your 
question whether you built PyOpenGL yourself, or solved the problem by 
using a binary distribution.  If you built it yourself, it's quite 
likely that during configuration, you either didn't have tkinter 
installed, or you disabled the building of togl to try and get PyOpenGL 
to compile and then didn't turn it back on before the final compile 
(build_togl = 1 should be in your darwin.cfg)... just noticed that it's 
actually disabled by default in the latest source (Jack and co, is this 
for a reason? Does OS X even have tkinter?)

If you used a binary installer, it's possible that the builder didn't 
include togl in the package, or possibly included it as a separate 
package.  Check your OpenGL/Tk/ directory for a togl.so, and a 
pkgIndex.tcl file. If those are not there, then your package doesn't 
include togl, and you should ask the packager (likely Jack) if they have 
a togl compile available.  If the files *are* there, it's possible the 
installation of the package is not triggering the registration with 
Tkinter/Tcl/Tk package manager which the setup.py file does.  The actual 
command is at line 211 in togl_setup.py, it's basically something like this:

tkinter_root_widget.tk.call( "pkg_mkIndex", "-verbose", 
"path/to/togl/directory", "togl.so" )

which you could do manually, but if you do and it works, let your 
packager (and us) know, so that we can attempt to fix the problem.

Good luck,
Mike
