[PyOpenGL-Users] easy_install OpenGL

[Simon W. <sim...@gm...>]

I've just tried to easy_install OpenGL.

It doesn't work, throwing this error:

error: Unexpected HTML page found at
http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pyopengl/OpenGL-3.0.0a4-py2.4.egg

are there extra easy_install incantations I'm missing?

-Sw.

Not as far as I know.  I installed to the laptop with just

    easy_install OpenGL

I saw an error like the one you mention when I tried to do the download 
using -f with an https URL, but I'm pretty sure I updated the setup file 
to use an http URL (seems to be using it in your case).

You can try this instead:

    easy_install -f 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyopengl/OpenGL-3.0.0a4-py2.4.egg?download 
OpenGL

which should IIUC parse the HTML page to find the link and download it.  
But easy_install is definitely supposed to be SourceForge 
download-system aware.

I need to get to work, but I'll try to get some time to look at it this 
evening.  Have fun,
Mike

After some trial and error, I managed to get easy_install work
installing OpenGL. I had to pass a direct URL to the source zip file
(from a sf.net download mirror) to the -f argument. So, it seems that
the problem is with distutils, not OpenGL!

I ran all my tests (for QGL), and everything worked, except for the
lighting demos. This could be errors in my code however, as I (and
others) have had problems with lighting working correctly on ATI
cards.

-Sw.

	Incidentally, I could never get lighting to work myself.....not the demos, 
sample code, my own hackings, nothing....but I was on an Nvidia card (GeForce 
2). Now I have an ATI and can't get hardware acceleration/OpenGL working AT 
ALL in Slackware 9.1 Linux (in addition to a whole bunch of annoying bugs/
anomalies in Win98SE). Currently in the market for a nice Nvidia 6600 AGP 
card. :P (This 9250 is the only ATI card I've ever tried, and rest assured, 
it is the *last* ATI card I will ever try.)
