[Visualpython-users] VPython on 64-Bit Fedora 13

[Jim P. <jim...@um...>]

  Hello,

I have been fruitlessly trying to get VPython to work on my 64-Bit 
Fedora 13 installation. I was able to get it running on my 32-Bit laptop 
after hours of frustration, but I seem to be getting nowhere here.

When I try to run any code which I know to be error free, I get the message

"VPython ***CRITICAL ERROR***: ./gtk2/render_surface.cpp:88: 
render_surface: failed to initialize any OpenGL configuration, Aborting."

I have the mesa OpenGL libraries installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim Pudar

Yes, try out the fedora package (currently in the testing repositories):
"yum install python-visual --enablerepo=updates-testing"
