My guess is that you need to install a new graphics driver, but I'm no Linux expert. Try googling 'no libgl' - it seems there other people with the same problem.
Hope this helps, Mikael.

Mikael may be right, you absolutely should not use the Nouveau graphics driver with Mesa acceleration (which is the default installation). When I installed the NVIDIA graphics driver on my system I chose to use the version from NVIDIA, rather than rely on the Ubuntu install (this checks and remove conflicting files/linkages).
Even if you install say NVIDIA graphics they might work fine for applications but fail in development due to dodgy links created by the crappy (well in my view it is crappy) update-alternatives. Rather surprisingly this is not just used for executables but also for libraries (insane).

Hi,
Stucture-synth did download using Synaptic Package Manager using Ubuntu 10.10. When I launch the app. everything loads up fine. However, in the viewing screen… it remains black.
Please advise. =) Thank you.

I tried to install every GL library I could think of but didn't improve the result…
Hi, it should work fine on Ubuntu 10.04.
