[Visualpython-users] Debian installation: gtkglarea is required on Unix-like systems

[<Ole...@ga...>]

Hi there
=20
I am having problems installing VPython on several debian boxes ('woody'
as wells as 'testing').
I have successfully installed:
=20
  gtkglarea5-dev=20
  python2.2-numeric
  python2.2-dev=20
  gtk+ 1.2
  xlibmesa3 =20
  pkg-config =20
=20
and their dependencies.
I even succeeded in installing python-gtkglarea, python-opengl and
python-gtk so something must be working.
=20
However, when running
=20
  ./configure=20
=20
from the installation directory I get the following error:
=20
---------------------------------------------------------
... (snip)
checking for gthread >=3D 1.0... yes
checking GTHREAD_CFLAGS... -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/glib-1.2

checking GTHREAD_LIBS... -lgthread -lpthread -lglib =20
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
--------------------------------------------------------
=20
but I have xlibmesa3=3D4.2.0=3D0prev1v3 and gtkglarea5=3D1.2.3-1 =
installed.
=20
Can anyone help me out here?
=20
Cheers
Ole

[Visualpython-users] Debian installation: gtkglarea is required on Unix-like systems

[<Ole...@ga...>]

Hello there and thanks to those who helped me get past=20
the first hurdle encountered when installing VPython under debian Linux.

The magic bullet was the installation of

  xlibmesa-dev (in addition to the other mesa stuff already installed)

Then ./configure completed.
However, make now complains as shown below. It has to do with g++,
But I have g++-2.95 installed and functional.
Any further ideas, please?

Cheers and thanks
Ole Nielsen

Subject: Re: [Visualpython-users] Debian installation: gtkglarea is
required
 on Unix-like systems

Hi,

I am not sure if I am the right person to say something here - first I
had basically no problems installing Vpython
on a debian testing box. Let's see -

For dpkg -l | grep gtkgl   I get

ii  gtkglarea5     1.2.3-2        Gimp Toolkit OpenGL area widget shared
libra
ii  gtkglarea5-dev 1.2.3-2        Gimp Toolkit OpenGL area widget
include
file

But I would be surprised if the difference in version number is
the origin of the problem.

Hmm, so a closer look at the configure output on my machine, which reads
 checking GTHREAD_LIBS... -lgthread -lpthread -lglib
 checking GL... yes
 checking GtkGLArea... yes
suggests in comparison with your output below, that maybe some GL stuff
is missing...
(For example I have
/usr/lib/libGL.a
/usr/lib/libGLU.a
)

These  are from xlibmesa-dev/xlibmesa-glu-dev and on my machine I have
dpkg -l | grep xlibmesa
ii  xlibmesa-dev   4.2.1-6        XFree86 Mesa development libraries
pseudopac
ii  xlibmesa-gl-de 4.2.1-6        Mesa 3D graphics library development
files [
ii  xlibmesa-glu-d 4.2.1-6        Mesa OpenGL utility library
development
file
ii  xlibmesa3      4.2.1-6        XFree86 Mesa libraries pseudopackage
ii  xlibmesa3-gl   4.2.1-6        Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86]
ii  xlibmesa3-glu  4.2.1-6        Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree86]

So maybe you have to install xlibmesa-gl-dev
as well  ? ((maybe you don't need the xlibmesa-glu-dev))
(hmm, and what the heck is that xlibmesa*3 stuff good for then ?? ;-)

Good, luck,

Arnd

For the moment, `apt-get install g++-3.0 gcc-3.0` and re-run configure
like this: `CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 ./configure`

It seems that I broke gcc-2.95 support in a new way.  It will be
returned soon.

You can find the detailed version of the error about half-way down
config.log (generated in the directory that you are configuring).  But I
think that I will cover your problem below.

The one thing that is probably missing is a GL -dev library.  If you are
using nvidia-supplied drivers, you will need to install the
nvidia-glx-dev package that is provided when you built the kernel
drivers (on my system, nvidia-glx-dev_1.0.4349-1_i386.deb).  If you are
using a Mesa-supported graphics card than you will need the
xlibmesa3-dev package from the usual Debian sources.

HTH,

P.S.  Dr. Sherwood, do you think you could summarize that last paragraph
for the Debian-specific portion of the installation instructions?  This
question seems to come up a lot.
