[Visualpython-users] rpm for redhat 7.1

[Karsten W. J. <kw...@fy...>]

Does anybody know if there is vpython rpm which works with redhat 7.1?
Or is it possible to do a compilation from scratch?

I tried to install the package python-visual-2001.01.22-2.i386.rpm on my
system and got the information that it requires "libgtkgl.so.4".

This can be provided by gtkglarea-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm which I installed
(The most up to date version
of this package which I found (gtkglarea-1.2.2-4.i386.rpm) provides
libgtkgl.so.5 and cannot be used).

After installation of gklarea and python-visual I get the following
mesage when I try to import visual:

>>> from visual import *
Visual-2000-11-26
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/visual/__init__.py", line 17,
in ?
    import cvisual
ImportError: /usr/lib/libgtkgl.so.4: undefined symbol: glXUseXFont

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Karsten.
