Re: [Visualpython-users] upadting vpython 4.x problems

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

Thanks for the report, including the screen image of the error. But all 
it says is that OpenGL was handed some stuff for displaying a sphere 
that it didn't understand, and I'm at a loss to figure out what's wrong. 
I've run 4.beta26 on many different XP and Vista machines and not seen 
the failures you and Symion see.

There's not much point in trying to debug this further, since there is a 
lot of work being done on the fundamental architecture of Visual 4. If 
you're able to run Visual 4, it will give you some sense of coming 
attractions, but be aware that some things in the new parts of Visual 
will change. If you're unable to run Visual 4, unless you can give me 
much more detailed information than is likely to be available to you, I 
guess you'll just have to wait for the new Visual 4.
