[Visualpython-users] Installing Vpython

[<ima...@gm...>]

Hi everyone, 

as a search on this list indicated, there are some people 
who have installed VPython under Debian Woody 
which I also use. 
But opposite to some previous posters who found it 
to be quite easy I am a bit stuck, since ./configure 
complains about missing gtkglarea which 
I am sure is installed. 
(At least everything dselect shows about gtkglarea)
In fact I installed every package listed in a 
previous post on this topic. 

I cannot append the output of ./configure ... 
right now since I'm not at home, but 
should it be necessary I can send it later. 

Bye

At http://www.physics.colostate.edu/users/gelfand/VPcompiled.tgz
you'll find Visual Python compiled for Woody/i386.  Move it
into /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages and then tar xzf it.
(Maybe it should/could go into /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages.)
If you get errors on importing visual then you'll know you're
missing some libraries.

Thanks for your fast help, I think I got an idea now:
Some of the libraries got installed into 
 /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages
                        ^^
which is the woody default python version. 
(That solves a few of my other problems :-) )

Is there anything special I have to do when installing 
some of the required graphics libraries on woody?

from visual import * 
works, but running a program I get: 

Visual-2002-07-22
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkWidget'
OpenGL initialization failed.
  Unable to create OpenGL display widget
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x2b)!

Also ./configure ... gives 
[snip]
include  
checking GTHREAD_LIBS...  -lgthread -lpthread -lglib  
checking GL... no
checking GL with threads... no
checking Mesa... no
checking Mesa with pthreads... no
configure: error: gtkglarea is required on Unix-like systems

Seems that indeed some graphics library is missing or 
in the wrong directory. 
But 
gtkglarea5-dev      1.2.3-1
python-gtkglarea   0.6.9-3
gtkglarea5             1.2.3-1
are installed. 

Maybe my OpenGl support is broken?
xlibmesa-dev
xlibmesa3
are installed, and I'm a bit fixed here, since 
the NVidia kernel drivers require these special 
packages. 

Thanks for your help, 
Nikolai

Python 2.2 is required for the current release of Visual.  You will need
to install that version and its development libraries.
apt-get install python2.2-dev
Then, run configure like this:
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.2 ./configure [options]

> Visual-2002-07-22

This is an older version of visual.  Try the current one from the
website, it should print a date of 2003-04-16

Just to be sure, check the 'Module' section of your XF86Config-4.  Make
sure that 'dri' and 'GLcore' are NOT listed, and 'glx' IS.  This could
be an artifact of building against one set of GL libraries, and running
on another, but I'm not sure.

Half-way down config.log, you should see a much more verbose echo of
this output with detailed information regarding the failure.  Please
send me that information, and we can see exactly what failed.

python-gtkglarea isn't needed for this package.

Shouldn't be an issue.  I use those on my box here, with the nvidia
driver, too. (Debian sid.)  Did it on Woody before that.

These symbols are defined in the NVIDIA-glx package.  Exactly which
version of the driver did you install, and how did you do it?  If you
followed either of the Debian methods, you should have generated both a
nvidia-glx....deb and and nvidia-glx-dev....deb.  Did you install them
both?  I suspect that your libGL and/or libGLcore symlinks got mixed up
somehow.

>From /usr/lib, typing `ls -l libGL.so* libGLcore.so*` should produce
symlinks like this when it is right, such that libGL.so and
libGLcore.so.1 ultimately point to version-matching libs:

/usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.2880
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.2880
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.2880
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.2880


If there is some kind of version mismatch, you will need to fix your
links.

Seems I indeed forgot to install one of the archives. 
Now even other 3D applications work for me. GREAT! :-)

"make install" quitted with

but it seems to have installed anyway, since importing visual
and displaying an arrow work. 

Thank you very much.

I assume that "Fehler" translates to "Error"?  If so, the build did not
succeed.  You are most likely using a different build from this one.  

A new teeney_version release will be forthcoming very soon to correct
this regression.  In the meantime, you can go into CXX/Include/Config.h
and change
#define HAVE_STL_ITERATOR_TRAITS 1
to
#define HAVE_STL_ITERATOR_TRAITS 0

It should have been covered by autoconf.

I see that you made it work, but, for the archives, that should have
been as I have corrected above.
